President Donald Trump has backed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who admitted to having an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. In a statement to reporters, Trump said, 'I have not spoken to him about it. I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on.' When asked whether Huang should stay on as CEO, Trump replied, 'I think so. Oh yeah, sure.' Trump also stated that he hasn't heard Huang do anything wrong. The New York Times reported earlier that a woman who had become close to Huang was working for a Chinese spy agency, which recruited her to collect information on him. Despite these concerns, Trump said he plans to take Huang on his upcoming trip to Asia later this month. Nvidia has stated that its board will begin an investigation into whether Huang was a target of a foreign intelligence agency.
