Trump Says Ex-Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Is 'Going Through Hell' After Resignation: 'He Called Me'

What happened

President Donald Trump said former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called him and expressed remorse about the scandal’s effect on his wife and family. Trump said Huang was “going through hell” after resigning. Nvidia appointed CFO Colette Kress interim CEO while it looks for a permanent successor.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

Huang’s departure leaves Nvidia searching for permanent leadership, while an interim CEO takes charge. A prolonged transition could distract management or delay decisions on spending and company priorities, though the article gives no evidence of operational changes or financial impact.

Analyst inference

The article links Huang’s resignation to allegations involving personal relationships and a suspected Chinese intelligence asset, while Trump says the business leader’s work was “incredible.” It reports no share-price move, company guidance, or changes to Nvidia’s operations, so financial effects remain unclear.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Nvidia’s appointment of a permanent CEO would clarify how long interim CEO Colette Kress leads the company and who will direct its strategy. Analyst inference
2. The article says Trump considered resignation appropriate if an affair involved an alleged Chinese spy; it does not establish that allegation as fact. Confirmed
3. Any later company comments on leadership, spending, or business plans could show whether the transition has practical consequences for Nvidia’s operations. Analyst inference
