President Donald Trump publicly endorsed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on Monday, defending him against allegations that he was ensnared in a Chinese honey-trap. Trump recounted asking Huang directly whether he knew his alleged mistress was a Chinese intelligence operative, stating Huang replied, 'I had no idea that she was a spy.' The FBI is investigating the matter, and Trump expressed confidence Huang would 'be in good shape,' noting Huang was 'suffering greatly' due to the impact on his family. Trump also revealed he purchased between $500,001 and $1 million in Nvidia shares on January 6, 2026, and between $1 million and $5 million on February 10, with additional trades disclosed in a September filing.
Why it matters
