Summary of article:
The New York Times reported that when Trump learned that Huang Jen-hsun was involved in controversies about espionage and extramarital affairs, he still supported Huida’s strategic value to American AI and the stock market and supported her to remain in office at the last minute.
CEO of Nvidia (also known as Nvidia)Jen-Hsun Huang Single-handedly made the company a leading supplier of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips in the world, but as it and a dubiousdetective After the woman’s extramarital affair was exposed and news of another extramarital affair with an employee came out, Huida announced on the 12th that Huang Renxun would be replaced. The New York Times reported that two people familiar with the matter revealed that the President of the United Statestrump On the 10th, Huang called Renxun and urged him to continue the struggle to retain his position as CEO.
The call is the latest example of Trump endorsing Huang. Trump advisers said that when Trump became aware of the intelligence community’s assessment of Huang, he downplayed the potential national security risks involved. An aide reported that Trump viewed the incident primarily as an extramarital affair scandal and did not believe Huang’s involvement would pose any threat to the United States.
Furthermore, Huida is one of the companies with the highest market value in the world and plays a vital role in the global economy. It is also an important pillar for Trump’s hope that the United States will overtake the mainland and occupy a leading position in the field of AI. Aides said Trump believed Huida was too big a company to fail.
Huang has become a high-profile ally of Trump and an influential adviser in the field of AI. Trump was warned on at least two occasions that Huang had ties to Alice Huang, whom US intelligence agencies believed to be a Chinese spy, but he failed to act. He also took Huang with him when he went to China in May this year. Trump has publicly praised Huang in recent days and expressed sympathy for her situation. On the 12th, he made a post on social media calling him a “legend” and continued supporting him till the last moment.
Trump’s last-minute attempt to preserve Huang’s position is particularly striking because just two years ago, the two had almost no interaction. Trump’s advisers have offered several explanations for his handling of the incident, the main one being that Trump put too much effort into Huang. He sees Huang as a modern version of Henry. Henry Ford believed he was pioneering a technology that could define the century.
Trump also believes that Huida’s fate is closely linked to the US economy and stock market. When news broke that Huida’s board of directors was considering replacing Huang, Trump asked his confidants how the market might react, fearing that Huang’s resignation would lead to a sharp decline in the stock market. Representatives for Huang did not comment for this article, and Trump and the White House did not respond to inquiries about the call.
Even before the spying scandal broke this autumn, some US officials were concerned about Huang. They believe that Huang Renxun maintains close relations with Chinese corporate executives and local officials, and in the process of dealing with them, even looking on the good side, he appears naive and careless. Some officials also wondered how Huang could be completely unaware of Huang Le’s possible ties to Chinese intelligence agencies.
However, Trump is unlikely to share these national security concerns in the first place. He made strong comments against China during the campaign and used it as his main attack argument in the 2016 presidential election, but he has never been a supporter of China in the traditional sense. During his tenure, Trump’s tough stance on China has always been limited to the trade sector. Still, he has repeatedly said he would prefer to reach an agreement with Chinese leader Xi Jinping rather than get into a protracted trade war.
Unlike some past presidents, Trump has largely ignored Beijing’s human rights abuses. People close to Trump say he has privately questioned why the United States would go to war on Taiwan. Trump also expressed his disdain for Taiwan by picking up a spoon for lunch guests at a golf club and saying, “This is Taiwan.”
