Trump added that he had spoken with Jensen Huang the previous day.
Jensen Huang stepped down as Nvidia’s CEO on Thursday after a controversy that began with a 2025 report about his relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. The company was an Nvidia cloud partner with priority access to its chips. Later reports said U.S. intelligence officials believed Alice Huang acted for Chinese intelligence; Beijing has denied she was a spy, and she could not be reached for comment. Singapore said she left the country in February and was barred from returning amid an investigation into possible offenses, which it said did not involve espionage. Jensen Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife but gave no details.
