## Summary

Donald Trump has suggested Tim Cook, who left Apple’s chief executive role in September, should take over Nvidia after Jensen Huang stepped down. The reported change in leadership comes amid scrutiny of allegations about Huang’s relationships and questions about whether one involved a suspected Chinese spy.

Huang co-founded Nvidia 33 years ago and led it to become the US’s most valuable company, with a reported valuation of $4 trillion; Trump praised his work as “fantastic”. Nvidia began an internal investigation, and Republican lawmakers have sought a closed-door briefing with Huang, with some supporting a subpoena. Huang is reported to be expected to cooperate, though it is unclear how his departure affects those discussions or the investigation.
