US lawmakers seek Senate testimony from former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang over national security concerns following his resignation.

US Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott has requested testimony from former Nvidia Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang and US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick following Huang's sudden resignation. The inquiry centers on potential national security risks and the protection of proprietary American technology after reports emerged regarding Huang's alleged connection to an individual accused of spying for China.

While interim leadership guides the semiconductor firm through its executive transition, Washington lawmakers are focusing on potential supply chain vulnerabilities. Scott stated on social media that recent developments raise critical concerns regarding national security and technological safeguards.
