Warren Seeks Nvidia CEO Testimony as Republicans Plan Tighter Chip Export Rules

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is seeking testimony from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about the company’s China chip sales as Republicans plan tighter export controls that could affect the chipmaker’s business.

Warren wants Huang to testify before Congress about Nvidia’s sales to China and related matters. Three Republican House members asked Huang to appear in a briefing on whether a Chinese intelligence agent had targeted him.

Republicans are planning tougher controls on chip exports, while Democrats are seeking leadership of regulatory committees after their election victory. President Donald Trump has met with Huang to discuss export controls for Nvidia chips and appointed him to the Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
