## Summary

Nvidia chief Jensen Huang has been asked to brief three House committees in person on 18 November about reported links between a Chinese executive and Chinese intelligence. The lawmakers say they need to establish whether US national security was put at risk through Nvidia’s business relationships.

The letter was signed by the chairmen of the House Foreign Affairs, China and Intelligence committees. Nvidia said Huang’s meetings with customer executives are routine and that regional cloud customers receive no sensitive trade secrets or information relevant to national security. The article also reports that President Donald Trump was briefed about a year ago on the intelligence findings and, according to people cited by the New York Times, chose not to act.
