A France 24 report published Nov. 13 said U.S. lawmakers want to question former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang in December; it also examined his ties to President Donald Trump and his views on artificial intelligence policy.
The broadcaster said Huang quit Nvidia over extramarital affairs, including one involving a woman suspected of spying for China. France 24 described him as an informal adviser to Trump on AI.
On chip policy, the outlet said Huang had spent years pressing to loosen U.S. limits on sales of advanced AI processors to China. It said national-security concerns were cited to defend the restrictions.
France 24 correspondent Douglas Herbert said the case puts questions of access and corporate influence in Washington into view: how close technology executives can get to Trump and how much sway the sector has in his administration.
Trump previously said he believed Huang did not know the woman was an alleged Chinese spy. He also said the allegations had not come to his attention during a May trip to China with Huang, according to EconoTimes’ earlier coverage of Trump’s comments.
