## Summary

President Donald Trump said he did not regret failing to act on intelligence reports about Alice Huang, a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US officials of spying for Beijing. He described Nvidia chief Jensen Huang as “honourable” and praised his work for the United States, while saying he had not spoken to him since the investigation became public.

Nvidia’s board has launched an independent inquiry into reports that Jensen Huang had a relationship with Alice Huang, and says it has no reason to believe company secrets or national security were compromised. Jensen Huang admitted being unfaithful to his wife and apologised to her and their children; he has led the major AI hardware company for more than 30 years. China has rejected the espionage allegations as groundless speculation.
