  "summary": "Jensen Huang has resigned as the CEO of Nvidia after 33 years with the company. According to Euronews, his exit followed reports of a relationship with an executive at the firm and scrutiny over an alleged affair with a spy. France 24 reports that Huang resigned on Thursday following revelations of extramarital affairs, including one with a woman accused of spying for China. The news caused Nvidia's share price to drop 4.3% by the Thursday closing bell.\n\nThe scandal has prompted calls for congressional scrutiny of Nvidia and the Trump administration from senior Democrats, according to Hindustan Times - World News. The Indian Express reports that US House Speaker Mike Johnson stated there is a growing consensus in Congress to limit chip exports to China following the spy scandal that forced Huang out. The speaker noted that Huang had previously pushed to preserve access to the Chinese market and maintains close ties with President Donald Trump.\n\nThe situation has also raised concerns regarding US security and the oversight of Nvidia's exports. The Indian Express reports that lawmakers have criticized Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick for the administration's refusal to blacklist several Chinese companies, leading to discussions among senior White House officials about whether Lutnick should be removed. Meanwhile, Chinese AI shares fell on Friday due to investor concerns that Huang's departure could lead to further restrictions on Chinese access to advanced US chips.",
