US Congress asks Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to closed-door meeting over China ties

Three Republican representatives have asked Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang to attend a closed-door meeting with US lawmakers on November 18. Brian Mast, John Moolenaar and Rick Crawford signed the letter requesting his appearance before their committees.

The lawmakers want Huang to explain his interactions with Alice Huang, an executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed. They also intend to question him about Nvidia's security protocols against foreign adversary espionage.

“It is fundamental that Congress determine to what extent the national security of the United States has been placed at risk.”

The request follows a New York Times report that said US intelligence agencies identified Jensen Huang's close relationship with Alice Huang through surveillance. Authorities are concerned she may have obtained commercial or national security information during her contacts with the Nvidia boss.

Alice Huang is a Chinese citizen who served as Megaspeed's managing director during the company's first eight months in 2025. She later removed her name from that role in corporate documents, and the company also appointed a Singapore director.

Nvidia has not confirmed whether Jensen Huang will accept the invitation. A company representative said Nvidia has an excellent security team that travels with its chief executive when necessary.

The representative also stated that regional cloud customers receive ordinary business information, not sensitive trade secrets, and zero information relevant to national security. The letter concludes that Congress must determine the extent to which US national security has been placed at risk.
