Trump says FBI probing Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's affair with alleged Chinese spy
President Trump told reporters the FBI is investigating an affair between Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang and a woman, Alice Huang, whom US intelligence officials reportedly suspect was a Chinese spy. Trump said he personally asked Huang whether he knew she was a spy and that Huang denied any knowledge, a claim Trump said he believed. China's foreign ministry has dismissed the espionage allegations as groundless, while Nvidia has commissioned its own independent investigation and says it has no evidence its secrets or national security were compromised.

The case also highlights ongoing US concerns, as reported by the New York Times, about Chinese intelligence efforts targeting executives in sensitive technology sectors.
