U.S. lawmakers summon ex-Nvidia CEO as export crackdown stalls

U.S. lawmakers summon ex-Nvidia CEO as export crackdown stalls

U. S. Senate and House committees asked former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang to appear for testimony on 13 November, Yahoo News Singapore reported, after reports linked him to a Chinese intelligence asset and triggered a market decline. The request came two days after Huang’s resignation on 11 November, heightening concerns over national-security implications of Nvidia’s AI chips.

The development follows a series of controversies that began when Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick postponed President Donald Trump’s directive to tighten export controls on Nvidia chips, according to BNN Bloomberg and Axios. Lawmakers later considered dismissing Lutnick and criticized his ties to Chinese firms, with The Guardian noting calls for his resignation after a delay in blacklisting a Singapore firm linked to an alleged Chinese spy. Lutnick subsequently agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee, NBC News said.

摘要

Three claims were partially confirmed: that U.S. Senate and House committees requested former Nvidia chief Jensen Huang to testify on November 13, that Jensen Huang resigned on November 11, and that lawmakers later considered dismissing Howard Lutnick and criticized his connections to Chinese firms. One claim, that Howard Lutnick agreed to testify before the Senate Banking Committee, lacked sufficient evidence.
