As questions swirl around the resignation of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang,
Huang and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick have
been called to testify before Congress.
It could happen as early as next week.
So that we have a full understanding of the facts
and get to the bottom of the truth of this situation.
There's growing concern some in the Trump administration
were too cozy with Huang and NVIDIA.
And not aggressive enough in preventing China
from acquiring NVIDIA's advanced chips for AI.
This could add fuel to advocates of greater export controls
and weaken the argument that
Johnson and Huang, among others,
have been making that the U.S. should not have such
high export controls. Some Trump officials acknowledge there has
been worry about Megaspeed,
the Singapore-based company accused
of illegally funneling NVIDIA chips to China.
This week, Huang admitted to an affair with a Megaspeed executive,
who was a suspected Chinese intelligence asset.
Why Megaspeed was not...
The Treasury Secretary suggested Lutnick failed to act.
There was coordination.
Treasury, war, USTR, and state, they were in favor of putting Megaspeed
on the entity list for months, but commerce has depended.
With the reputation of one of America's most valuable companies
on the line, President Donald Trump,
a longtime friend of Huang, is casting doubt on the affair.
Should he have stepped down?
The big thing is, was the woman a spy?
And I don't know if that's been determined yet,
but if the woman was a spy, yes.
But scrutiny of NVIDIA and any protection it may have received
from the White House is only going to intensify
as the interests of big tech and national security collide.
