Reuters: Senior White House officials are debating whether to oust Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick amid growing criticism of his handling of US technology exports to China, particularly in the wake of the scandal surrounding former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
A growing number of lawmakers have criticized Lutnick for the administration's refusal to add dozens of Chinese companies to a central trade blacklist and questions about overseeing NVIDIA's chip exports to China.
A White House official said that President Donald Trump "maintains full confidence in the secretary and his ability to carry out the job."
