Er nannte Jensen Huang ein «nationales Heiligtum»: Der US-Handelsminister Howard Lutnick gerät in den Sog des Nvidia-Skandals

US Trade Minister Howard Lutnick referred to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as "a national shrine" in a recent interview, according to the report. Lutnick, who is also close to former President Donald Trump, has come under scrutiny for allegedly failing to prevent Nvidia chip exports to China, as detailed in the Nvidia espionage scandal.

The controversy has sparked investigations by the Senate, with the Trump administration maintaining the support of Lutnick in this matter. Huang's relationship with Lutnick has now become politically charged, leading to Lutnick's resignation as CEO of Nvidia. The US government imposed export controls on Nvidia's high-performance chips in 2022 to prevent China from surpassing the US in AI technology. Despite the ban, the chips remain available on the black market in China.
