## Key points

- Trump says Tim Cook should lead Nvidia.
- Jensen Huang has resigned as chief executive.
- Nvidia’s chief financial officer is leading on an interim basis.

## Summary

President Donald Trump has suggested Tim Cook take over as Nvidia chief executive after Jensen Huang resigned. The proposal matters because it links the leadership of a major chipmaker to a prominent former technology chief, though Cook has not indicated he would accept the role.

Trump named Cook in a Truth Social post and repeated the idea on a podcast, praising his record at Apple and calling him a strong candidate. Nvidia is being run on an interim basis by its chief financial officer; the article says the resignation followed reports of affairs, including an alleged connection to a Chinese spy. Trump said he had spoken with Huang and that whether the woman was a spy remained undetermined. Apple and Nvidia had not responded to requests for comment.
