Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned over Marco Rubio's memo to Donald Trump.
According to the "Washington Post", the US Secretary of State warned the President about the technology company's CEO's alleged ties to a Chinese spy. To prepare the document, Rubio used a CIA report, which presented intelligence findings in harsher terms.
The leak of the note's contents to the media led to Huang's resignation on November 12. According to the publication, the departure of the senior manager may strengthen the position of supporters of strict restrictions on technology exports to China. Earlier, the head of Nvidia convinced the president to allow the supply of several artificial intelligence chips to China, contrary to the position of officials from Trump's national security team.
"They wanted to destroy Jensen's influence over the president," a former US official told the paper.
