Trump says Jensen Huang is going 'through hell' amid scandal
USA TODAY's Saman Shafiq reports that Jensen Huang stepped down as Nvidia's CEO on Nov. 12, 2026, days after acknowledging an extramarital affair with Singaporean tech executive Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials suspect of spying for China, and that Nvidia's stock has fallen sharply since the affair became public in October. In an interview with Stephen A. Smith, President Donald Trump said Huang is going "through hell," that what hurts him most is his wife and family, and that if Alice Huang is a spy, Huang was right to step down; Trump also proposed Tim Cook as Nvidia's next CEO.
