US President Donald Trump has said that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is examining certain aspects of a controversy involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, APA reports.
Trump made the remarks during a press conference at the White House.
The US President was asked whether he would discuss allegations that a woman with whom Huang had been romantically involved was working for Chinese intelligence with Chinese President Xi Jinping at next week's Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in China.
"No, I don't think so. Maybe President Xi himself will ask me about it. I know Jensen very well. I consider him a very honest man. He has built a great American company," Trump said.
According to the President, the FBI is investigating the matter in a somewhat different context.
"We will get to the bottom of this. As far as I know, the FBI is looking into it, and I think everything will turn out fine for him," the US leader stated.
Trump also revealed that he had been unaware of Huang's relationship with the woman during his visit to China in May.
"I asked him about it today. He categorically stated that he had no knowledge whatsoever that the person was a spy. I really believe him," the President emphasized.
It should be noted that allegations linking the woman reportedly involved in a relationship with Huang to Chinese intelligence have not been independently verified.
