Trump told reporters he asked Huang whether he knew she was a spy, and Huang reportedly said he had \"no idea\". Trump added, \"I know the FBI is looking into it,\" and predicted Huang would \"be in good shape.\"\n\nAsked whether he regrets not acting on a briefing he reportedly received last year, indicating a Chinese spy was targeting Huang, Trump said: \"No, I don't think so. I think he's an honourable guy. I think he probably has an excuse for it.\"\n\nInvestors have been less forgiving. Nvidia has lost a few hundred billion dollars in value, and law firms including Rosen Law Firm and Schall, Brown & Schwartz are reportedly urging shareholders to claim the company made false or misleading statements and failed to disclose key information. Nvidia had denied a romantic connection between the two before it became public. It had also vouched for Megaspeed, a Singapore data centre company that Alice Huang is reportedly connected to. Megaspeed denies accusations of chip smuggling.\n\nOur read: Trump's remarks are a character reference, not a finding. The shareholder questions concern what Nvidia knew and said, and a president's goodwill does not answer them.\n\nHis Blackwell boast also cuts the wrong way. Trump said the chip is \"10 years advanced\" and \"can't even be copied.\" If that is true, anyone wanting the newest AI chips in China, which lacks them, needs genuine ones. That is the demand the smuggling trade feeds on. This is our inference, not something the source says about Megaspeed.\n\nThe open question is what Nvidia knew when it issued its denial.","[\"nvidia\",\"jensen-huang\",\"chip-smuggling\",\"china\"]","2026-11-10T14:01:26.000Z","2026-11-10T14:47:18.774Z","2026-11-10T14:47:20.919Z","published",null,[24,30],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":28,"status":29},"editor-r1","editor",1,"Remove the unsupported closing claim that the FBI 'has not said anything yet', which the source never states, and stop asserting an FBI probe in the headline as established fact when the only basis is Trump's remark 'I know the FBI is looking into it' (attribute it, e.g. 'Trump says FBI is looking into it'); also add the Sunday admission date and keep the speculative 'harder problem' framing clearly labelled as analysis.","resolved",{"id":31,"reviewer":26,"round":32,"reason":33,"status":29},"editor-r2",2,"Remove the invented date: the source says only that Huang admitted the affair 'on Sunday', so drop 'November 8' (or sourced equivalent) and write 'on Sunday' or flag the date as unconfirmed; the FBI claim is now properly attributed and the analysis is labelled, so keep those.","hardware",[36,37,38,39],"nvidia","jensen-huang","chip-smuggling","china",[41],{"name":42,"url":43},"PCGamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fhardware\u002Fgraphics-cards\u002Ftrump-calls-his-pal-jensen-huang-an-honourable-guy-and-says-he-probably-has-an-excuse-for-nvidia-ceos-affair-with-alleged-spy\u002F",0,{"sections":46},[47,52,57,62,67,72,76,81,86,91,96,101,106,111],{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"AI","ai",7144,"2026-11-12T13:27:45.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Security","security",1128,"2026-11-11T18:05:00.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"Deals","deals",642,"2026-11-12T14:00:00.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":64,"count":65,"latest_published_at":66},"Policy","policy",619,"2026-11-12T12:53:36.000Z",{"name":68,"slug":69,"count":70,"latest_published_at":71},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",364,"2026-11-12T11:12:32.000Z",{"name":73,"slug":34,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Hardware",336,"2026-11-12T11:24:43.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Science","science",230,"2026-11-12T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Software","software",168,"2026-11-11T17:36:49.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"Startups","startups",159,"2026-11-11T12:30:00.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",127,"2026-11-11T19:00:44.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"General","general",118,"2026-11-11T16:49:42.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"Gaming","gaming",107,"2026-11-12T10:09:03.000Z",{"name":107,"slug":108,"count":109,"latest_published_at":110},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":112,"slug":113,"count":114,"latest_published_at":115},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
