President Trump said Wednesday that the FBI is conducting an investigation into allegations that Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang had a relationship with a woman suspected of espionage connections to China.
Trump told reporters that he had personally spoken with Huang regarding the allegations. The president did not provide additional details about the nature of the investigation or the woman involved.
Nvidia, one of the world's leading artificial intelligence chipmakers, is among the most closely scrutinized American technology companies due to export restrictions on advanced semiconductors to China. The company has faced ongoing regulatory pressure over its sales practices and compliance with US national security measures.
It remained unclear when the FBI initiated the investigation or what specific allegations prompted the inquiry. Neither Nvidia nor the FBI has publicly confirmed details of the investigation.
The disclosure comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over technology and national security matters, with US authorities maintaining strict oversight of high-tech sector activities potentially involving foreign intelligence concerns.
