In an interview released on November 12, Trump said Jensen Huang, who has resigned as Nvidia CEO, is "going through hell," that his wife and family are what he feels most guilty about, and that he believes Huang will make a comeback. Huang stepped down on November 12; he had previously admitted to an extramarital affair with Singapore tech executive Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of spying for China, and the two are not related; on November 11, The New York Times further reported that he had an affair with Kimberly Powell, Nvidia's vice president of healthcare. Nvidia is the world's largest AI chipmaker, has launched an investigation into the matter, and its stock has fallen sharply since The New York Times exposed the news on October 29. Trump said the key question is whether the woman is a spy, and that if so, Huang should resign; he also proposed that Apple executive chairman Tim Cook succeed Huang as Nvidia president and CEO.
