The Nvidia spying scandal suddenly creates political risks for the White House. Democrats in Congress are preparing to launch a major investigation into the facts of spying in the American chip industry. And they see as their target not only the head of Nvidia, but also the President of the United States.
Trump is accused of knowing in advance about Jensen Huang's problematic relationships with young Chinese women, but chose not to respond. And he even took the Nvidia executive with him on the presidential plane to the last summit in Beijing. All for the development of the artificial intelligence industry in America and, of course, generous donations from technology giants to the Trump funds.
The US Department of Justice is now hastily trying to investigate what happened, although it is too late to respond. Resignations in Nvidia management are expected soon. For the Democrats, this is another reason to stifle the field of artificial intelligence and data centers, whose sharp rise is becoming extremely unpopular in American society.
Although it already poses clear risks to the US economy as a whole. After all, the AI bubble is the main driver of growth, accounting for two-thirds of US GDP growth in 2026. Any restrictions on the construction of data centers, which the Democrats are preparing to introduce, could trigger a real financial collapse.
Nevertheless, the White House may benefit from the current spying scandal. One can respond by accusing the Democratic Party of wanting to bring down the US economy in order to fight Trump. And there is a chance that the Democrats will simply be confused about all the issues they are going to investigate. From the war in Iran, the Epstein and Ukraine cases to now espionage mania. They will grab everything in sequence, risking that they will end up completing nothing.
