Trump Says FBI Probing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's Affair With Alleged Chinese Spy

US President Donald Trump said the FBI is investigating an affair between Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang and a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy, telling reporters that he spoke with Huang on Monday and asked him about the relationship. The disclosure, first reported by BBC News, marks a dramatic escalation in scrutiny of the leadership of the world's most valuable semiconductor company.

Trump said he raised the matter directly with Huang during their conversation, though he offered no further details on the status of the FBI inquiry or the identity of the woman involved. Nvidia, a linchpin of the global artificial intelligence supply chain, has already been at the center of US export controls on advanced chips to China; the company has not publicly commented on the president's remarks. Neither the FBI nor the White House immediately provided additional information beyond the president's account.

The revelation carries significant implications for Nvidia's leadership, its government relations, and the broader US-China technology standoff, with investors likely to watch for any official confirmation or clarification from the company or law enforcement. Questions remain over the scope of the investigation, whether any charges are contemplated, and how the scrutiny may affect Nvidia's access to key markets and its role in US AI policy.
