What happened
US President Donald Trump said at a Monday press conference that the FBI is looking into the relationship between Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Alice Huang, a former executive at Megaspeed.
According to Trump, US spy agencies believe Alice Huang was working for China. The president did not provide further details.
Why it matters
Nvidia is one of the most decisive companies in the global AI chip market. An investigation reaching the FBI level around its CEO directly affects the company's China-related business and its political standing in the US.
This is the latest link in a growing controversy over Huang's China ties and the Megaspeed chip probe. The scope and outcome of the investigation remain unclear.
