Reuters cited two sources with knowledge of the matter as saying that senior White House officials are discussing the possibility of firing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in the wake of the spying scandal involving former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
A growing number of members of Congress have criticized the Commerce Secretary for the US administration's refusal to add dozens of Chinese companies to a trade blacklist.
These criticisms also concern questions about the effectiveness of government control over NVIDIA's exports to China.
