特朗普称FBI调查黄仁勋涉中国间谍案，国会施压

News when you want it with Bloomberg News now. I'm Nathan Hager and I'm Karen Moscow. Karen, we begin with the latest on the controversy surrounding Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang. President Donald Trump says the FBI is now looking into Huang's relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, even as the president offers his support for the embattled CEO. I asked him today because I didn't speak to him today just to see if he's doing all right.

How are you doing? And I asked him about that, and he he said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy. Speaking at an impromptu white House news conference, President Trump called Jensen Huang a very honorable man who has built a great American company. Nvidia's board is investigating whether Huang was a target of foreign intelligence after he admitted to an affair with a mega speed executive, who U.S. officials suspect of acting on behalf of Chinese spy agencies.

And now, Nathan, members of Congress are demanding answers. House and Senate leaders got a closed door briefing on Nvidia yesterday from CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton. Republican Congressman Carlos Jimenez sits on the China Select Committee. Our committee needs answers on exactly what that relationship was. Obviously, he has said that he had an inappropriate relationship with a Chinese spy.

Uh, and what transpired? What what sensitive information could have, uh, been given to, uh, to the Chinese through this spy. And so it's, uh, something that's very concerning to us. And Florida Republican Carlos Jimenez appeared on Bloomberg's balance of power Senate Banking Committee, Republican Jim Banks and Democrat Elizabeth Warren are calling on the Commerce Department to suspend or reconsider Nvidia's export licenses to China.

And Democrat Chris Coons, with the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, says he's pushing for an investigation into Jensen, Wong and Nvidia. And all this comes Karen, as new details emerge about investigations that have already been underway, Bloomberg News has learned. Nvidia's general counsel intervened last year in a U.S. government probe into Mega Speed, the company that Jensen Huang's mistress worked for. Sources tell us Nvidia's Tim Teeter, as the commerce undersecretary in charge of U.S. chip export controls, whether his agency was involved in detaining Mega Speed executive Alice Wang in Singapore last year.

And Nvidia spokesperson says Teeter was unaware of Jensen Wang's affair with Alice at the time. But after the call, sources say Commerce staff were muzzled in their investigation into mega speed and were told to reroute all requests about Nvidia through the undersecretary. Well, Nathan, the crisis has reinforced how inseparable the 63 year old CEO is from Nvidia and its success. Some are now wondering what one of the world's most valuable companies might look like, should its leader ever change.

And Bloomberg's James Woolcock has more. Last month, Jensen Huang told Bloomberg he is just as replaceable as everyone else. Just as I can be fired, the next CEO has to be hired. And so and you know, I like it that way. I like that. I like that we can't be overly complacent. But the founder of Nvidia seems to be anything but. Huang has led Nvidia for 33 years since its inception, and in that time delivered a 700,000% return.

In that same Bloomberg interview. He said he wanted to lead the company for another 20 years, but the CEO has no clear succession plan, and his level of public fame means his 60 person strong senior team are relatively unknown in London. James Allcock in that radio. Okay, James, thank you for staying on the AI theme. Anthropic is set to kickoff formal marketing of its initial public offering as early as today, but it doesn't come without a little drama.

There was a brief clerical misstep. A leaked prospectus mistakenly dangled a $69.3 billion fundraising target before it was retracted. That number, which anthropic reportedly later said was outdated, indicated a target that would fall short of an earlier goal of matching Space X's record setting IPO. And even Bloomberg News has learned anthropic is planning a live streamed event. Co-Founder Dario Amodei will discuss the cloud chat bot maker's initial public offering with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Diamond.

Sources say the chat is expected to be held around lunchtime Friday in New York, a similar to but less extravagant event than the one that was conducted with Elon Musk in June as part of SpaceX $86 billion listing. Start now carried to the latest from the Middle East. President Trump is indicating he's keen to pursue diplomacy with Iran and wind down the war. After meeting with Qatar's prime minister at the white House.

They're talking to us and they're talking very politely, and we'll see what happens. But there's a good chance that they could get, uh, and did so at the conclusion of the military engagement. The American people and the people of the world will be far safer that President Trump is not completely ruling out further strikes. He says the U.S. remains, quote, locked and loaded in case a new military campaign becomes necessary.

And that's news when you want it with Bloomberg News now. I'm Karen Moscow, I'm Nathan Hager, and this is Bloomberg.
