Schumer says Congress must have answers on Trump defense of Nvidia CEO

Senate ​Democratic Leader ​Chuck Schumer on ‌Tuesday said ​Congress must have a full ‌accounting of President Donald Trump's defense of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and ‌called on lawmakers to quickly ‌approve new restrictions on US chip exports to China.

Schumer cited reports Trump ⁠was ​briefed ⁠on Huang’s affair with a suspected Chinese ⁠spy a year ago and ​did nothing. "What a dereliction of duty. ⁠He’s supposed to protect America, ⁠not China, ​not his friends. Trump has been busy trying ⁠to defend Jensen Huang when he ought ⁠to ⁠be defending our national security," Schumer said.
