Nvidia scandal: How close was ex-CEO to Trump?

US lawmakers have called Jensen Huang to face their questions in December after the Nvidia ex-CEO quit over extramarital affairs, including one with a suspected Chinese spy. The Taiwanese-born businessman was a close informal adviser to President Donald Trump on AI and had spent years lobbying against curbs on sales of advanced AI chips to China for national security reasons. Just how close Huang was to Trump and the extent of the influence tech giants have on his administration are some of the questions that still need answering, says France 24’s Douglas Herbert.
