US President Donald Trump expressed support for Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang following a New York Times report that Huang was targeted by a Chinese spy plot involving a Singapore-based data centre executive, Alice Huang, who allegedly funnelled information to Beijing. Trump said the US is investigating the matter closely and praised Jensen Huang as a brilliant and trustworthy advisor on AI policy. China dismissed the report as 'groundless speculation'. The allegations involve Megaspeed, a company under scrutiny for allegedly steering Nvidia AI chips to China, though Nvidia stated that claims of chip smuggling were debunked last year and that Jensen Huang's interactions with Alice Huang were routine business meetings.
Jensen Huang, born in Taiwan and raised in part in Thailand, has advocated for legal immigration as a key strength of the US, emphasizing its role in attracting global talent and fostering innovation. He recently visited Kazakhstan, where he discussed the country's potential to become a computing hub for Europe due to its energy resources and AI ambitions.
