President Donald Trump praised Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as an honest man and said he had not spoken with him about allegations that the company’s chief was involved in a foreign espionage effort. In a statement to reporters, Trump said, “I have not spoken with him about that. I only know that he is a good person, but I never know what is going on.” He added that he hoped everything would be fine and that Huang had “done an extraordinary job for our country.” Trump also said he would consider inviting Huang on a trip to Asia next week, replying, “I don’t know, but I would definitely invite him.” The comments came after Reuters reported that Nvidia has launched an independent investigation into whether Huang may have acted as a conduit for a foreign intelligence service, following media reports that he had a close relationship with a Chinese businessman who is alleged to have passed information to Beijing. The investigation is part of Nvidia’s effort to address the allegations that the CEO’s ties could pose a national‑security risk.
