Investing.com-- U.S. President Donald Trump on Sunday evening praised Nvidia's Jensen Huang for his contributions to the country, and said he had not spoken to the CEO regarding allegations of a relationship with a suspected Chinese spy.
"He's a fine person… I think he's an honorable guy," Trump told reporters at Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday evening, adding that Huang has "done an amazing job for the country."
"I have not spoken to him about it," Trump said.
Nvidia said earlier in the day it was investigating a Financial Times report alleging that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing.
Huang, in an internal note to Nvidia employees, admitted to the affair, and said he would fully cooperate with the board in its investigation.
The Nvidia CEO developed a close relationship with Trump over the past two years, with the president championing Huang for Nvidia's progress in the artificial intelligence industry.
Huang has consistently accompanied Trump on his state visits, most notably China earlier this year and the UK in 2025.
Trump, when questioned over whether he would take Huang with him on a trip to Asia next week, said "I don't know, but I'd certainly take him."
