Trump says Huang had 'no idea' lover was alleged Chinese spy

The Korea Times - Nov 10, 2026

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump took a sympathetic tone towards Jensen Huang on Monday, saying the Nvidia CEO was "suffering greatly" and didn't know a woman he had an affair with was an alleged Chinese spy. Trump also danced around the question of when he personally was aware of intelligence linking the chip boss to Alice Huang, a Chinese executive who had allegedly been funneling information to Beijing. The U.S. leader said he had spoken to Huang earlier on Monday "to see if he's feeling alright," calling the Taiwanese-born tech boss an "amazing guy." "I asked him that question, 'did you have any idea that she was a spy?' He said, 'I had no idea that she was a spy,' and I really believe him," Trump told reporters at the White House. He added: "I hope there is no problem. I believe he is suffering greatly... more so because of his family, his wife, who he loves, and his family. But he's definitely suffering." Jensen Huang sent a message to Nvidia employees on Sunday in which he acknowledged having an affair and apologized to both his family and company staff. Trump said he was

US stocks open up, shrugging off Nvidia woes

NEW YORK — Wall Street stocks advanced early Monday, shrugging off a big drop in Nvidia shares as oil prices retreated and other artificial intelligence stocks rose. Crude prices fell more than four percent on diplomatic hopes concerning the US-Iran war, while many tech giants like Google parent Alphabet and leading AI companies such as Micron were higher after the group badly sold off on Thursday. The "market implicitly decided that whatever happened last week was a one-day event," said Steve Sosnick of Interactive Brokers. About 25 minutes into trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 1.4 percent at 52,009.10. The broad-based S&P 500 rose 1.7 percent to 7,499.41, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index jumped 2.1 percent to 25,087.25. Shares of AI leader Nvidia sank about five percent after the chip company said it launched an investigation on CEO Jensen Huang following reports he was targeted by Chinese intelligence. "Nvidia for now, is being treated as a one-off story," said Briefing.com analyst Patrick O'Hare, adding that investors are being driven more by "an inclination

Senate weighs sweeping energy legislation in first major action since midterm elections

WASHINGTON — The Senate on Monday is set to take up bipartisan legislation aimed at speeding up permitting reviews for data centers and other infrastructure projects, in the first major action since last week’s election that soundly repudiated President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans. The Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote on the bill, which senators and the president have pushed as officials seek to meet growing demand for electricity and other forms of energy that now faces yearslong delays in getting to the grid. The legislation’s sweeping changes would shorten the timeline to get big energy projects started — both for clean energy and fossil fuel projects — and make sure data centers pay for the energy they use. Anger over artificial intelligence data centers and rising electricity helped usher in a wave of Democrats pledging to clamp down on the massive, energy-hungry structures. Trump urged senators to vote for it, calling it a “BIG WIN for U.S. ENERGY INDEPENDENCE and DOMINANCE.” in a social media post on Sunday. The bill will “ensure that we

Oil falls almost 5% as Trump signals restraint on Iran

LONDON — Brent crude futures were down almost 5 percent on Monday after hitting their lowest since early September, after U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of renewed strikes on Iran, though attacks continued on ships near the Strait of Hormuz. Brent crude futures were down $4.57, or 4.65 percent, at $93.75 a barrel by 12:04 p.m. EDT (1704 GMT). Their session low was $92.80 a barrel. U.S. West Texas Intermediate futures fell $3.19, or 3.51 percent, to $87.64. The Brent benchmark plunged by 16 percent last week and touched a two-month low of $93.22, its steepest weekly drop since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. On Sunday, Trump said he was highly unlikely to order fresh attacks on Iran as long as talks to end the conflict progressed. Still, both countries reported that shipping had been hit in or near the Strait of Hormuz. "This seems to have encouraged sellers on the prospects for peace even while the actual fighting is not slowing down," TACenergy analysts said in a note. Last week, Trump had hinted at a resumption of attacks on Iran, and Tehran vowed to respond

Trump returns to US election fraud claims after initial concession

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump renewed baseless allegations of election fraud Monday after Democrats swept both chambers of the U.S. Congress, reversing course just days after saying he would accept the midterm results. "Does anybody really believe that this 'Election' was honest. How could the Polls be so wrong???" Trump wrote on Truth Social, alleging without evidence that large early voting "dumps" had made Republican victories impossible. "It's all about the machines, which are far more important than the voter!" he added. The accusations marked a sharp reversal from Trump's initial acceptance of the outcome. "I am absolutely willing to accept those results," he told The New York Times on election night. The president has repeatedly made unfounded claims of election fraud, most notably following his defeat by Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election. "Donald Trump's pathetic return to election denialism was inevitable," said Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the U.S. Senate. "He can whine all he wants, but nothing will stop this inescapable truth: For the last two years

IAEA chief welcomes S. Korea's nonproliferation commitment amid nuclear submarine plans

WASHINGTON — International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Director General Rafael Grossi has welcomed South Korea's commitment to upholding its nuclear nonproliferation obligations as the country pursues plans for nuclear-powered submarines. Grossi made the remarks in a post on X following discussions with Jeong Yeon-doo, South Korean vice foreign minister for strategy and intelligence, on regional and global nuclear nonproliferation issues. "I welcome the Republic of Korea's strong commitment to working closely with IAEA and upholding its non-proliferation obligations, including in the context of its plans for naval nuclear propulsion," Grossi wrote. He described the meeting with Jeong as an "important exchange" on nuclear nonproliferation issues in the region and around the world. Grossi also congratulated South Korea on successfully hosting the International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power last month and expressed appreciation for Seoul's continued support for the IAEA and its mission. Seoul unveiled the Jang Bogo N project in May, aiming to domestically develop and build nuclea

Biden scales back book tour as cancer 'slows me down'

WASHINGTON — Former U.S. president Joe Biden says he is scaling back plans to promote his upcoming memoir as he battles aggressive prostate cancer, acknowledging that the illness sometimes leaves him struggling. The 83-year-old Democrat, whose health was a major issue during his presidency, said Sunday that he would be unable to make as many public appearances as he had hoped ahead of the November 17 release of "Promise Me, America." "Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down," Biden wrote on X. "What that means is, unfortunately, I won't be able to do as many conversations about my book as I'd hoped. However, I'm hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves." Biden announced in May 2025, four months after leaving the White House, that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had spread to his bones. He has since undergone radiation and hormone therapy, while his son Hunter said in August that the disease had spread further and was causing considerable pain. Biden struck an optimistic note about his treatment

Pope Leo Mass in Buenos Aires draws record crowd of 2.5 million, Vatican says

BUENOS AIRES — Vast crowds thronged one of the main boulevards in Buenos Aires on Monday as Pope Leo rejoiced at the strength of the Catholic Church in South America during an outdoor Mass that officials said drew a record crowd of 2.5 million people on the first papal trip to Argentina in nearly four decades. Argentines stretched for miles down the Avenida del Libertador, waving the white-and-yellow Vatican flag and pressing against security barriers for a glimpse of the pontiff at the largest event yet of the pope's 12-day South American tour, and of his 18-month tenure leading the global Catholic Church. Chants of "Long live Pope Leo!" echoed down the tree-lined street as the pope was driven by in an open-top popemobile under sunny skies. Leo said in his sermon how happy he was to see Catholics in a region that has long been a stronghold for the Church but where it has been losing ground recently to fast-growing evangelical denominations. "It fills my heart with joy to celebrate... with you," said the pope. "My visit to this land of Argentina has allowed me to see on your faces the

Nvidia's shares slide as chip giant probes CEO over spy claims

SEOUL/SYDNEY — Nvidia shares declined on Monday after an internal investigation into whether CEO Jensen Huang had been targeted by a foreign intelligence effort put his future at the AI chipmaker under scrutiny. The internal probe followed a media report that Huang had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who allegedly passed information to Beijing. Huang told Nvidia's employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife, without disclosing details of the relationship. The investigation, announced on Sunday, has put a spotlight on 63-year-old Huang's future given Nvidia's status as the world's most valuable chipmaker and the CEO's role as the most prolific salesman of the AI boom. The leather-jacketed Huang enjoys rock-star status worldwide, particularly in Asia, where he often mingles freely with fans, taking selfies and signing autographs for his devoted followers. He is Nvidia's fifth-largest shareholder with a roughly 3.6 percent stake, according to LSEG data, and keeps a tight grip on the company through an unusually flat structure in which dozens of executives report di

'No ordinary CEO': Why the AI race cannot do without Nvidia's Jensen Huang

On the streets of Taipei and Seoul, fans of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang mob him for autographs on books, posters and sometimes even on their bodies. In private, even billionaires Larry Ellison and Elon Musk were once reduced to "begging" for his coveted AI chips. The star power that 63-year-old Huang draws as the gatekeeper to Nvidia's chips shows how badly the AI industry is leaning on him for the graphics processing units that train models and run services such as ChatGPT. But he is not just a chip supplier; instead Nvidia has in recent years turned its swelling cash pile into a war chest to fund companies ranging from AI cloud-computing providers and suppliers to the biggest labs. Analysts say that makes Huang a potential risk to the AI industry as Nvidia investigates whether he was targeted by foreign intelligence after Huang confirmed his affair with a Chinese businesswoman accused of passing information to Beijing. "It is hard not to read the news over the weekend as negative given it brings the stewardship of one of America's most important companies and the architect of the US AI traj

Nvidia probe into CEO Huang's affair puts spotlight on personal life

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has been one of the poster boys for the AI revolution because his company's chips are essential for the technology. Now his personal life is in the spotlight after revelations of an affair with a purported Chinese spy that triggered an investigation by the board. Here's a look at Jensen Huang. Founded in a fast food franchise Nvidia is a tech giant that's worth more than $4 trillion, making it one of the world's most valuable companies. But the company's beginnings more than 30 years ago were decidedly unglamorous. The company got its start when three engineers — Huang, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem — gathered in 1993 at a Denny's diner in San Jose, California, in what's now the heart of Silicon Valley. They discussed building a computer chip that would make graphics for video games faster and more realistic. That conversation, and the ones that followed, led to the founding of Nvidia. Why Denny's? Huang worked at the restaurant when he was young and his time there appears to have played a big role in his early life. On his LinkedIn profile he lists only tw
