US Congress to Scrutinise Trump’s Ties with Jensen Huang

The US Congress is turning its attention to the close relationship between President Donald Trump and former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who recently resigned amid controversy over alleged extramarital relationships. Jamie Raskin, the Democratic representative from Maryland expected to chair the House Judiciary Committee next year, has called for scrutiny of the links between Nvidia and Trump, as well as the Trump administration’s dealings with China. His remarks indicate that the relationship could become a subject of congressional oversight in the coming months.

Trump and Huang developed a close association after Trump began his second presidential term. The two first met at the White House in January 2025, followed by several appearances together at official events. Huang was also among the technology leaders who lobbied the administration to retain the H-1B visa programme. He later joined Trump’s visit to China in 2026. Huang’s efforts to secure access to the Chinese market for Nvidia chips, the administration’s export policy and his interactions with Trump are now drawing political scrutiny. Any congressional inquiry could also raise questions about the administration’s approach to China and advanced chip exports.
