(FILES) (L/R) Treasury Secretary Secretary Scott Bessent speaks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during the arrival of Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House in Washington, DC, on September 24, 2026. On November 15, 2026, Bessent called on Nvidia to explain whether it knowingly allowed its most advanced AI chips to reach China, saying this was more important than ex-CEO Jensen Huang's affair with an alleged spy for Beijing. Speaking on "Fox News Sunday Morning Futures" three days after Huang resigned, Bessent said he wants to know if Nvidia used shell companies to dodge US restrictions and sell its most powerful chips to China.
