Sen. Cramer Urges Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Resign Over Alleged Chinese Spy Affair

3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Nov 11

Kevin Cramer, a senior Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, said Jensen Huang should step down as Nvidia CEO after disclosure of an extramarital affair with a woman alleged to be a Chinese spy.
Cramer said the relationship creates a national security risk because Huang leads the world's largest AI chip company, arguing the potential for extortion is too great given Nvidia's strategic importance.
The North Dakota senator said even if the affair were the only proven misconduct, the possibility of undisclosed vulnerabilities would still be enough to justify Huang's resignation.
