The Guardian on Nvidia's Jensen Huang extramarital affair: why Trump ignored the warnings
The Guardian view on Jensen Huang’s affair: why did Trump ignore the warnings? | Editorial
A Guardian editorial says Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang admitted to an extramarital affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, who is alleged to have passed intelligence to Beijing, and that Trump took no action after receiving an intelligence briefing on the matter. The article notes that Huang had lobbied to relax chip export controls on China, and that the White House subsequently canceled the Biden-era global AI chip restrictions and allowed Nvidia's H200 processors to be sold to China. The editorial, citing reports, says a Commerce Department investigation was halted after Nvidia contacted investigators, and argues that Congress has reason to investigate whether the government knowingly ignored a foreign intelligence threat.
