  "account": "President Donald Trump's close relationship with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been brought back into the spotlight following revelations about Huang's alleged connections to a Chinese spy. Huang resigned on November 12 and is now facing an FBI probe and congressional hearings.\n\nSince returning to the White House in January 2025, Trump has met with Huang multiple times, praising his work in artificial intelligence. In July 2025, Huang visited China, and Trump praised him for his contributions to AI. In August 2025, both men met at the White House while discussing potential sales of advanced AI chips to China. In September 2025, Huang joined Trump during a state visit to Britain.\n\nIn November 2025, Huang attended a US-Saudi Arabia investment forum in Washington, where he discussed the future of AI. During a meeting with Trump that month, Huang confirmed he was unaware that the businesswoman in question was a Chinese spy. Trump expressed his belief in Huang's innocence and noted that the FBI was investigating the matter.\n\nDespite the controversy, Trump has continued to support Huang. In January 2026, Huang was appointed to a 13-member council advising Trump on AI policy and other issues. In May 2026, Huang joined Trump during a visit to China, where they met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. In September 2026, Huang signed a voluntary safety pact with other AI CEOs and met Trump at the White House.\n\nIn October 2026, Trump awarded Huang the National Medal of Science and disclosed a stock transaction involving Nvidia. When Huang resigned in November 2026, Trump described him as a \"tremendous talent.\"",
