Trump says FBI investigating Nvidia boss's affair with alleged Chinese spy
The US president said he spoke with Jensen Huang on Monday and asked him about the affair with the alleged spy.
Trump said he thought Huang was an "honorable guy and I feel very confident that he will be in good shape" after the investigations.
"I hope there's no problem, I believe he is suffering greatly," the president said.
He said he spoke with Huang on the phone on Monday "just to see if he's feeling alright, how you doing, and I asked him about that and he said he absolutely had no idea that the person in question was a spy".
Trump added he was "sure" China president Xi Jinping would "ask me about it" when they next met.
Huang has admitted he was "unfaithful" to his wife and apologised for hurting her and their children.
He said on Monday that he was "committed to protecting Nvidia and supporting America's national security" and would cooperate with the investigation the company had launched.
Huang has also been requested to appear for a joint closed-door briefing for several Congressional committees next week.
In the letter, the chairmen of the committees said they were seeking a briefing "on Nvidia's security protocols against foreign adversary espionage and your interactions with a publicly reported People's Republic of China (PRC) intelligence asset: Megaspeed executive Alice Huang".
