  "account": "President Donald Trump expressed his support for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on November 1, following a report alleging a Chinese spy operation targeting the tech magnate. The New York Times reported that US intelligence concluded a Chinese executive, linked to a Singapore-based data center company, was passing information to Beijing after interacting with Huang. China denounced the report as \"groundless speculation.\"\n\nTrump, speaking at his Florida residence, said he admired Huang's brilliance and hoped he would be unharmed by the allegations. \"We're going to check it out very closely,\" the president added, emphasizing his commitment to safeguarding US intellectual property.\n\nWhen asked if he would retain Huang as an advisor, Trump said he would like to approve the arrangement, noting Huang's reputation as an \"above board\" individual. However, he acknowledged the complexity of the situation. Huang had previously advised Trump on AI policy and joined the US leader during a visit to Beijing in May, where both men met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.\n\nHuang, a Taiwan-born entrepreneur, has promoted the use of Nvidia's chips in China, a country actively developing its own semiconductor industry.",
