Listen to the story

US President Donald Trump has said that the FBI is investigating an alleged affair involving Nvidia's chief executive, Jensen Huang.

According to Trump, Huang had a relationship with a woman who is alleged to be a Chinese spy. Trump did not name the woman or give details about her.

Trump said he spoke to Huang on Monday and asked him directly about the affair. He has not said what Huang told him.

The FBI, short for Federal Bureau of Investigation, is the main US agency that deals with crime and national security threats inside the country.

Nvidia is one of the world's most valuable technology companies. It designs computer chips that power artificial intelligence systems used around the world.

Because of its important technology, Nvidia's business has often been linked to US-China relations. The US government has placed restrictions on some chip sales to China in recent years, citing security concerns.

It is not yet clear how long the FBI investigation has been going on or what evidence it is based on. There has been no public statement from Nvidia or Jensen Huang about the matter.

This story is still developing, and more details may come out as the investigation continues.
