Nvidia may face a more hostile post-election Washington: Report

Chipmaker Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with President Donald Trump probably won’t save the company from a more hostile Washington in the post-election era, according to Semafor.

Even as victorious Democrats look to take the lead in regulatory committees, Republicans are planning to impose tougher export controls on chips.

Three Republican House members have asked Huang to appear in a briefing on whether he had been targeted by a Chinese intelligence agent, according to Semafor’s report on Friday.

Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren wants Huang to testify before Congress on Nvidia’s chip sales to China and other related matters, Semafor said.
