Nvidia's Future, Trump's Ties to Huang, US Mediates Russia-Ukraine Talks
Nvidia founder Jensen Huang is out as CEO after allegations involving multiple affairs, leaving longtime CFO Colette Kress to steady the company as it faces questions about leadership, investor confidence and its dominance of the AI chip market.
Huang’s close relationship with President Trump is drawing scrutiny in Washington, with lawmakers asking whether his access influenced U.S. chip policy toward China and what administration officials knew about the national security concerns surrounding him.
U.S. envoys say European governments could join the next round of Russia-Ukraine talks after meetings with Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, as negotiators test whether a broader European security framework can help break the deadlock over the war.
