Ned Price on Nvidia’s Jensen Huang: What the White House Has Done on This Front Is Bigger Scandal

‘A lot of people made a lot of money, potentially at great cost to the American people’

EXCERPT:

PRICE: “It is certainly a scandal that this case was successful in their minds, that this relationship developed between the two of them, that they became so close that this was running over the course of of many years. And Congress needs to look into this, just as others within the executive branch supposedly are looking into this. I think the bigger scandal here is actually not so much what Jensen Huang did, but what the White House has done on this front. It was just last year, last December, in fact, that the White House, President Trump personally authorized the sale of some of NVIDIA's most advanced chips to the People's Republic of China. They did so against the wishes of the national security community. They did so against the wishes of some in the executive branch. They did so against the wishes of many lawmakers in Congress.”
