US President Donald Trump has defended Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following reports of his connections to a woman suspected of espionage on behalf of China.
Trump praised Huang and noted that he had not discussed the allegations with him. “I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he is a fine person. You never know what is going on. I am sure, I hope everything is fine. He has done such an incredible job, so I would certainly hope that he is a fine person, in my opinion,” the president said.
Asked whether he regretted not acting on intelligence regarding the alleged relationship earlier, Trump replied: “I think he is an honorable guy. I think he probably has an excuse for it.”
Huang, who leads one of the world’s most valuable technology companies, acknowledged to Nvidia’s board that he had been unfaithful to his wife with a business executive suspected by US intelligence of gathering information for Beijing.
