Trump Backs Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang After Affair With Suspected Chinese Spy

President Donald Trump called Jensen Huang a “fine person” and said he should stay on as Nvidia Corp.'s chief executive officer after Huang admitted having an affair with a woman US intelligence officials suspect was a Chinese spy. Trump told reporters on Sunday, before returning to Washington, that he had not spoken to Huang about it.

What Trump Said

“I have not spoken to him about it,” Trump said, adding: “I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on.” Asked whether Huang should stay on, Trump said: “I think so. Oh yeah, sure.”

After the Admission

Trump's remarks came after a series of reports about Huang's relationship with the woman and after the Nvidia chief executive admitted the affair.
