Donald Trump has claimed that Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, said he was unaware of any affair with a suspected Chinese spy. The US President spoke to Huang on Monday following reports suggesting that US intelligence believed he had been targeted in a Chinese espionage operation.
“I asked him, ‘Did you have any idea she was a spy?’ He replied, ‘I had no idea she was a spy,’ and I truly believe him,” Trump told reporters.
The FBI is reportedly investigating the situation. China’s foreign ministry has dismissed allegations of Huang being targeted, categorising them as “entirely groundless, speculative and intended to smear and malign China.”
Nvidia, which has initiated an independent investigation into the matter involving Alice Huang, alleged to be a Chinese spy, stated it has no evidence that its secrets or national security have been compromised.
US intelligence officials reportedly believe Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, is linked to Beijing’s espionage activities, according to a report by the New York Times.
