President Donald Trump went to bat for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Monday, despite the latter’s affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
When asked about the allegations during a White House press briefing, Trump said that he will not bring up the case with President Xi Jinping when the two meet next week.
He added, “I just know Jensen very well. I think he is a very honorable man. He built a great company. American company. I think he’s a very honorable guy. I feel very confident that he will be in good shape.”
Trump was later asked to put a “finer point” on when he first learned of the allegations, and suggested a reporter “check with the intelligence people.”
He also said, “It could have been mentioned. Certainly, it didn’t make much of an impact on me.”
Huang admitted to the affair on Sunday.
“I was unfaithful to my wife,” Huang said in part. “My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry.”
A company spokesperson also said, “Today’s news will not slow Nvidia. Jensen is committed to continuing to lead Nvidia as C.E.O. without interruption.”
The New York Times reported that an investigation has been opened in whether the woman, named Alice Huang, could have encouraged Jensen Huang to ease the possibility China can receive Nvidia chips. The Times also noted that “The revelation raised troubling possibilities because Mr. Huang is one of the most powerful figures in the A.I. revolution as well as an influential ally of President Trump.”
Alice Huang “worked in China as a TV reporter before becoming a top executive at a Singapore-based data center company that had become one of Nvidia’s biggest customers in Southeast Asia,” the Times also reported. “It bought more than $4.8 billion in chips over the past two years.”
The admission followed the publication of a report that indicated Jensen Huang was targeted by a spy from China. In response, Nvidia spokesman John Rizzo said, “Jensen’s interactions with Ms. Huang are not unusual or unexpected. Meetings with customers are part of a CEO’s job; Jensen talks with thousands of customer executives every year. Our regional cloud customers receive ordinary business information — not sensitive NVIDIA trade secrets — and zero information relevant to national security.”

The only reason I can see for sitting on it was to avoid dinging the Administration "Hurry UP A.I." campaign, since Nvidia is the prime mover and piggy bank of the industrial infrastructure for the A.I. build-out.
There will be some very embarrassing hearings on this in the new Congress.
[By the way, if Jensen Huang is "very honorable," I'm Saint Francis of Assisi.]
There is no honor amongst thieves.
Doesn’t sound like Trump was going HARD to BAT for the guy.
Trump will never change but he would do well to not comment on every little thing. I voted for him 3 times but enough is enough.
Why wouldn’t he? He went to bat for the Lolita Island crowd.
Pooh is in over his head with a honey pot! That’s all this is! 👶
LOL .
The Trump crime family has gotten the check so Motor Mouth will speak on his behalf.
Isn’t Donnie the conman busy selling us to Amnesty Billionaire donors and his Poor Ivanka Daca democrats.
He has used those sad Donnie Cultists and he needs more cash outside his massive Inside Trading schemes since OIL prices are stable.
Is Donnie’s Amnesty Maga now?
China was 20%% of Nvidia sales, maybe 50% of net because of extreme operating leverage in chips. There’s no need for a Mata Hari to sweet talk Nvidia’s CEO - any CEO was gonna push against limits. Especially given that its products aren’t the result of Pentagon cost-plus contracts like the F-35, where the Feds pay for R&D. Same logic as Tesla and Apple selling in China. For decades, Nvidia takes all the risks, loses money for years and when its products take off, suddenly the IP is effectively nationalized?
Apple has a monopoly of sorts that Jobs built. Tesla and Nvidia have competitors breathing down their necks. It’s possible Huang is to Nvidia what Musk is to Tesla. Without Huang, it stumbles. Huang certainly took a massive gamble - on CUDA - everyone thought would fail, made it work.
Do I agree with chip controls? Sure. But Nvidia’s perspective is completely understandable. As a short-seller, I need Jensen Huang to get the needle. But as a observer, I understand why his lobbying for a loosening of restrictions had nothing to do with blackmail. No CEO is gonna go along with this kind of throttling, to get company profits cut 50%, in a high risk, what have you done for me lately sector of the economy where a single bad chip cycle can mean oblivion, as almost happened to Intel.
Not surprising considering Trump’s background.
There may be some honour in infidelity, as Trump can attest to.
Donnie and his son Jr are experts on amoral Infidelity.
Sadly, Doonie using this expertise on Selling out the US on Amnesty.
“ “I just know Jensen very well. I think he is a very honorable man. He built a great company. American company. I think he’s a very honorable guy. I feel very confident that he will be in good shape.”
Other than screwing a Chinese spy, he’s a great guy!
Go away Russian troll
Donnie loves his amoral snakes.
Donnie knows about cheating on his wives.
Donnie endorsed Ken Paxton the biggest cheat of the midterms
and see how another brilliant Donnie’s endorsement worked out for the GOP.
