Trump appointed Tim Cook to head NVIDIA after Huang's resignation.
Donald Trump proposed appointing former Apple CEO Tim Cook as the new head of NVIDIA. The US president wrote about it on his social network Social Truth.
"Now that Jensen Huang, who did a wonderful job, has retired, there is only one person who can take his place - Apple's Tim Cook. One legend after another! Trump said.
NVIDIA previously announced Huang's resignation as president and CEO amid a scandal surrounding his alleged ties to businesswoman Alice Huang, who is suspected of passing information to Chinese authorities. The company was temporarily led by CFO Colette Kress.
