Main Points
Donald Trump praised Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as “honorable” on Sunday, despite the U.S. company’s announcement that it was investigating Huang for a relationship with a woman who intelligence reports say was a spy for the Chinese government. During a press briefing in Florida before returning to Washington, Trump said, “I think he’s an honorable man, I think he probably has an excuse for that. They have to listen to it. No, they can’t do that to people (attack him). He’s done a fantastic job for our country.” He added that he had not spoken to Huang since Nvidia disclosed the investigation. Huang has admitted to a relationship with a Chinese entrepreneur named Alice Huang, who the New York Times reports was recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security to gather information on him. The Times also noted that Trump had received information about the relationship last year but chose not to act. When asked whether he regretted not taking action, Trump replied, “No, I don’t think so.” He went on to say, “I just know he’s a good person, but you never know what’s going on. I hope everything is fine.” The alleged spy was reportedly part of a Beijing initiative to obtain details on U.S. artificial‑intelligence chip technology and to influence the availability of advanced chips for China. Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat who has pledged to investigate the matter, said he would pursue the issue after his party gained a majority in the Senate following last month’s midterm elections.
