Trump announces what the head of "NVIDIA" told him about his relationship with a suspected "Chinese spy."

US President Donald Trump announced that he spoke on Monday with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted to having an extramarital affair with a woman said to work for Chinese intelligence - noting that Huang denied knowing that the woman was a spy.

Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room that he only recently learned of the intelligence-related questions about Huang, and claimed he was unaware of those concerns when he took him with him on an official visit to China last spring.

In the course of their conversation, Trump said that Huang denied any knowledge that the woman with whom he admitted to having a relationship was working as a Chinese intelligence agent.

Trump continued: "I spoke to him today just to check on his condition. I asked him: How are you? Then I asked him about that matter, and he assured me that he had no idea that the person in question was a spy. I asked him directly: Did you have any idea that she was a spy? He replied: 'I didn't know she was a spy,' and I truly believe him."

Trump indicated that he began to realize the details of this situation “not long ago,” adding that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was looking into the matter.

Trump continued: “I think things will be fine for him,” and stated that he does not remember when he first learned of the concerns surrounding Huang’s relationship with that alleged Chinese woman, and said: “I will certainly check with intelligence officials. It may have been mentioned, but it certainly did not leave a significant impact on me.”

For its part, Nvidia announced that it would conduct an investigation into reports that Huang was “the target of a foreign intelligence operation.”
