Jensen Huang is “an amazing guy,” who is “suffering greatly” due to the scandal, the US president said
US President Donald Trump has said that the FBI has launched a probe into Jensen Huang’s affair with a woman accused of working for Chinese intelligence, but stressed that he believes in the Nvidia chief’s innocence. Beijing has vigorously denied the spying claims.
On Monday, Nvidia, a US company which dominates the market for chips used to power AI, said that it started its own investigation into allegations that its founder and CEO was targeted in a Chinese intelligence ‘honeypot’ operation. Earlier in the day, Huang admitted to cheating on his wife, but didn’t name the woman he had been dating.
The New York Times and Financial Times reported previously that the 63-year-old tech entrepreneur had developed a romantic relationship with Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, a Chinese executive formerly associated with the Singapore-based technology company Megaspeed International, who had allegedly been gathering data on Nvidia for China’s Ministry of State Security.
