Wednesday, November 11, 2026 -US President Donald Trump has thrown his support behind Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid an investigation into his alleged relationship with Alice Huang, a Singapore-based tech executive identified by U.S. intelligence as a suspected intelligence asset for Beijing.
Speaking at a White House press briefing, Trump said Huang
assured him he had no knowledge that the associate was operating as an
intelligence operative.
"I asked him that question 'Did you have any idea that
she was a spy?' He said 'I had no idea that she was a spy' and I really believe
him," Trump told reporters, adding that he was "amazed" by the
revelations.
The developments follow a report by The New York Times
disclosing that Huang maintained a close personal relationship with a Chinese
businesswoman whom US intelligence officials suspect shared information with
Beijing.
In response to the allegations, Nvidia's board of directors
initiated an internal investigation.
Trump confirmed that federal law enforcement authorities are
now examining the circumstances. "I know the FBI is looking into it,"
Trump said. "I think that he'll be in good shape."
Over the past two years, the Nvidia chief has consistently supported the administration's economic agenda and established a regular presence in Washington as the semiconductor giant sought regulatory approval to export advanced microchips to the Chinese market.
