Story summary

President Donald Trump defended Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, calling him a "fine person" and stating that he should remain as the company's chief executive despite allegations of an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. On November 8, Trump told reporters he had not discussed the matter with Huang but believed him to be honorable and had done an amazing job for the country. The Nvidia board announced they would investigate whether Huang was targeted by a foreign intelligence agency. US intelligence officials previously warned the Trump administration that a woman close to Huang might have been working for Chinese spies, potentially to gather information on him. Despite these warnings, Trump expressed uncertainty about taking Huang on his upcoming Asia trip but did not rule it out, saying he had not heard anything indicating wrong-doing by Huang.
