President Trump's Statement Regarding Allegations Against Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang
U.S. President Donald Trump made statements at the White House regarding allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with a Chinese spy. Trump stated that Huang claimed to be unaware of the allegations and described him as an honorable person.
President Donald Trump, in a press conference held on November 9, 2026, addressed allegations that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, who is suspected of being a Chinese spy.
Trump stated that he spoke with Jensen Huang earlier in the day and that Huang informed him he was unaware that the person in question was a spy. The President described Huang as a 'highly qualified' and 'honorable' person, emphasizing his contributions to the American economy as the founder of Nvidia.
According to a report by The New York Times, intelligence regarding the relationship, including a memo prepared by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, had been shared with the Trump administration about a year ago. Trump did not provide a specific date as to when he became aware of this situation.
Following Jensen Huang's admission of infidelity to his wife, an internal investigation was launched within Nvidia. While a separate investigation process conducted by the FBI continues, President Trump expressed his belief that Huang would emerge from this process 'in good standing'.
