Trump calls Nvidia's Huang 'honorable,' says he has not discussed allegations with him

US President ​Donald Trump on Sunday ‌called Nvidia ​CEO Jensen Huang an honorable person and praised his contributions to the ‌United States, but said he had not spoken to him about allegations of a relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who ‌passed information to Beijing.

"I have not spoken to him ‌about it. I just know he's a fine person, but you never know what is going on," Trump told reporters. "I hope everything's fine." "I ⁠think ​he's an ⁠honorable guy," Trump said, adding that Huang had "done an amazing job ⁠for our country."

Nvidia said on Sunday it was probing whether ​Huang had been the target of a foreign intelligence ⁠effort, after a media report alleged he had a close relationship ⁠with ​a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing. "I think he probably has an excuse for it. You ⁠have to hear it," Trump said.

When asked if he would take ⁠Huang ⁠on his trip to Asia next week, Trump said: "I don't know, but I'd certainly take ‌him."
