Quoted from the coverage (4)
Nvidia said in a statement that neither trade secrets nor US national security had been compromised.
Mr. Trump told reporters on Sunday (November 8, 2026) night he had not spoken to Mr. Huang about the allegations, calling Mr. Huang an “honourable guy.”
America restricted firms from exporting advanced Nvidia chips to China in 2022, but some smuggled them illegally over the border.
Megaspeed, meanwhile, is under investigation by US and Singaporean authorities over accusations that it helped smuggle advanced Nvidia graphics processing units (GPUs) into China to circumvent US export restrictions on cutting-edge technology.
