President Donald Trump on Thursday called for former Apple CEO Tim Cook to take the helm at Nvidia, while lauding Jensen Huang as “fantastic” and “a legend.”
The post represented Trump’s first public comment on Huang’s resignation, which came amid an investigation into his affair with an alleged Chinese spy.
Trump had been briefed earlier this year on the relationship, which raised national security concerns within the intelligence community. But he opted not to take any action, and Huang remained an influential voice in shaping Trump’s approach to his hands-off regulatory approach to the artificial intelligence industry.
CNN’s Dana Bash discusses the scandal with White House correspondent Alayna Treene and the Inside Politics panel of analysts. Also, CNN’s Pamela Brown gets reaction from Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA).
