U.S. lawmakers summon Nvidia co-founder and Commerce Secretary to testify on chip export probe

U. S. lawmakers asked Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang to appear before congressional committees on national-security concerns on 13 November, according to Yahoo News Singapore. Earlier, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick had agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee on 11 November, as reported by NBC News.

The hearing followed criticism that Lutnick delayed a Trump-ordered crackdown on Nvidia chip exports to China, a delay first reported by BNN Bloomberg. Lawmakers pressed for Lutnick’s dismissal after a report linked a Singapore firm to a Chinese spy, according to The Guardian. The same report highlighted Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s alleged ties, The Globe and Mail reported. Critics cited Lutnick’s connections to Chinese firms and to former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, CBS News noted.

The claim that the U.S. Senate and House committees requested former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to appear for questioning was partially confirmed, with the main event verified but some details unconfirmed. The assertion that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutkey delayed the rollout of President Donald Trump’s directive to tighten export controls on firms suspected of diverting Nvidia AI chips to China had insufficient evidence to support it. The reports that Jensen Huang's involvement led to Nvidia shares falling and increased national-security scrutiny were also partially confirmed, with the central claim acknowledged but some specifics unverified. It was confirmed that Howard Lutkey agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee.
