The president called the Nvidia chief on Tuesday, continuing a pattern of supporting him even as the spy scandal was intensifying.
President Trump called Jensen Huang on Tuesday, before the Nvidia chief stepped down amid a rapidly unfolding spy scandal, and urged him to keep fighting for his job, according to two people briefed on the conversation.
The call was the latest instance of Mr. Trump defending and protecting Mr. Huang, who had become a high-profile ally and an influential adviser on artificial intelligence. The president continued to back him to the end, even after U.S. intelligence agencies had concluded that Mr. Huang was having an affair with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy.
Nvidia announced on Thursday that Mr. Huang, who built the company into the world’s leading supplier of advanced A.I. chips, had been replaced as chief executive following revelations not just of the affair with the woman suspected of being a spy, but also another with one of his employees.
A representative for Mr. Huang did not provide a comment for this article. Neither Mr. Trump nor the White House responded to requests for comment about his call to Mr. Huang.
The president had been warned at least twice about Mr. Huang’s relationship with a Chinese citizen known as Alice Huang, whom intelligence agencies concluded had been recruited by China’s Ministry of State Security, The New York Times has reported. The first warning was late last year, and the second was in the spring.
Mr. Trump took no action either time, and brought Mr. Huang with him on a trip to China in May. In recent days, he has publicly praised Mr. Huang and expressed sympathy for...

I would think this type of thing would be something that a President should stay out of.
Huang put the national security of the United States at risk and his actions resulted in over a half $1 trillion in losses to Nvidia.
Earlier today, Elon Musk said he would be honored if Huang came to work for him just as Trump earlier said Huang was an honorable man.
These men are sleaze bags. All three of them.
Even Elon Musk?
Guys it’s the NY Slimes.
Especially Elon Musk. I forget how many children he’s had by how many different women.
I know he is almost a trillionaire and the world’s most brilliant genius, but God, faith, family, and honor means nothing to him.
Hearsay, another of the “anonymous sources.”
We didn’t have any problem with CCP spies when Swalwell, Feinstein or McConnell were screwing them and they were bigger security threats.
The trolls are out in force. Huang can have as many side pieces as he wants if he creates a company worth 4 trillion which is 4 trillion percent of the IQ of the poster . And Pelosi’ chauffeur ? And Fang Fang ? Huang is not in congress .
First, consider the source. New York Times is sleazier than Zelenskyy at an all u can eat Paris whorehouse. Don’t believe a thing he says and the NYT either.
Nope. This was a Chinese op to get a competent CEO in AI out of the way. Trump is right to weigh in on this.
Agreed 100%. Jensen Huang & Elon Musk have IQ’s off the charts.
Yes, and one of the reporters (M. Haberman) that President Trump has talked to in the past worked on this story.
Whores going after a rich guy. News at 11.
That’s not the way it works in corporate America. You don’t have a relationship with a worker that reports directly to you and which goes against company policy.
Lk 16:8 :And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
Samson doesn’t look too good until he ends up in the “hall of fame” of Hebrews 11
President Trump should steer clear of this. A university linked to the Chinese military was able to receive H200 chips, and that university in on list prohibiting that kind of technology transfer.
You’d have to ask SOS Rubio as he presented a report to President Trump about Ms. Huang being associated with Chinese intelligence services.
“That’s not the way it works in corporate America. You don’t have a relationship with a worker that reports directly to you and which goes against company policy.”
LOL, Maybe today in many companies, but back in the 80s when we still smoked cigarettes at our desk we used to hire strippers because they needed healthcare and they were good entertainment and had other benefits for as long as they decided to stay. This company was privately owned by a jewish guy and was sold for 1.5b in the 90s.
