WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — President Trump stood by embattled Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, telling reporters he thought Mr. Huang was a “fine person” despite Mr. Huang’s recent admission to having an affair with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy.
Mr. Trump told reporters before flying back to Washington Sunday night he had not spoken to Mr. Huang about the matter but that he thought he was a “fine person” and “honorable guy.”
“I think he probably has an excuse for it. We’ll have to hear it,” Mr. Trump said, adding that he thinks Mr. Huang should stay on as the head of the chipmaker.
When asked whether he planned to bring Mr. Huang with him on his trip to Asia next week, Mr. Trump said he would “certainly take him.” He said, “I haven’t heard he’s done anything wrong.”
Nvidia has opened an investigation into reports that Mr. Huang was the “target of a foreign intelligence effort,” the company’s board of directors said Sunday
The announcement came after the tech executive told the board he had been intimate with a business executive whom U.S. intelligence determined was gathering information for Beijing, The New York Times reported.
