Trump wants Huang to stay, without having discussed the affair
Bloomberg's report pairs the president's endorsement with an independent Nvidia board investigation and the company's statement on its secrets.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 164,953 views a day, 30 times a normal first day on this channel (5,574).
Trump Backs Nvidia CEO After He Admits Affair
"I have not spoken to him about it," Donald Trump says, before calling Jensen Huang a "fine person" and endorsing his continued leadership of Nvidia.
That qualification is central to Bloomberg Television's report: the president is backing the chief executive, but not describing a conversation with him about the affair Huang has admitted. Speaking in West Palm Beach, Trump praises Huang's work and says he should remain in the job.
The Short drew about 165,000 views in its first day, compared with roughly 5,600 for Bloomberg's usual Short. Its separate report on Nvidia's investigation also attracted an unusually large audience.
On The Asia Trade, anchor Haidi Stroud-Watts turns to technology reporter Ian King for why Huang's position matters beyond the immediate controversy. "He's the only CEO this company has ever had," King says. "It's basically built around him." He explains that the prospect of losing Huang concerns AI investors.
Bloomberg places the affair admission alongside a suspected Chinese espionage case. Nvidia's board has launched an independent investigation, and Huang says he supports it and will cooperate fully. The report closes with an important distinction from the company: Nvidia says it has no reason to believe its secrets were compromised.
