“HE'S A FINE PERSON, AN HONOURABLE GUY” — Trump Backs Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Amid Spy-Affair Probe, Says He Should Stay As CEO

US President Donald Trump on Sunday night (local time) backed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang amid an investigation into reports that he was the “target of a foreign intelligence effort”. Trump described Huang as a “fine person”, but said he had not spoken to him about the allegations.

 Speaking to reporters, Trump said Huang should continue as the chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp. after he admitted to having an affair with a Chinese “spy”.

 “I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he’s a fine person, but you never know what is going on,” the US President said while interacting with reporters. Trump also praised Huang, a key business ally, describing him as an “honourable guy” who had made an “amazing contribution” to the United States.
