Jensen Huang to appear before congress ahead of thanksgiving

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has agreed to provide testimony to Congress, as confirmed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast. This commitment follows pressure from several senior lawmakers who had previously threatened to issue a subpoena. Huang agreed to testify by Thanksgiving, which occurs later this month. The request originated from a letter sent on November 4 by House Republicans Mast, John Moolenaar, and Rick Crawford, who chair the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, and the House Intelligence Committee, respectively. Mast indicated that while he and Huang have had disagreements regarding export controls, he does not wish to harm Nvidia, noting that Huang has serious matters to address. The closed-door briefing is expected to be recorded and transcribed.
