Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump described Huang as an “amazing guy” and said he hoped the controversy would not lead to any serious problems for the technology executive.

“I believe he's suffering greatly,” Trump said, suggesting that the situation was particularly difficult for Huang because of its impact on his wife and family.

Trump also revealed that he had spoken with Huang and asked him about the allegations. According to the US President, Huang denied knowing that the woman was allegedly connected to Chinese intelligence, and Trump said he believed his explanation.

The controversy follows reports alleging that Huang had an extramarital relationship with a Chinese businesswoman suspected by US intelligence officials of working for Beijing. Huang has acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife and apologised to his family, Nvidia's board and employees.

Meanwhile, Nvidia's board has initiated an independent investigation into concerns raised by the reports. Trump also confirmed that the FBI was looking into the matter, while expressing confidence that Huang would be able to navigate the controversy.

The developments have brought renewed attention to the intersection of corporate leadership, national security and the growing US-China competition over advanced artificial intelligence technology.
