Congress Summons Nvidia Ex-CEO Huang and Commerce Secretary Lutnick Over Chip Export Controls; Hearings Set for December

On November 12, Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott requested former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify before the committee, warning of potential subpoenas if they decline. Huang was asked to appear at a public hearing on December 3 to address national security concerns regarding advanced semiconductor exports to China, while Lutnick was invited to testify on December 10 over Commerce Department's role in issuing export control regulations. Separately, Republican chairs of the House Foreign Affairs, China and Intelligence committees requested closed-door, transcribed interviews with Huang on December 1 and Nvidia General Counsel Tim Teter on December 2. The inquiries focus on export controls and Megaspeed, a Singapore-based Nvidia customer whose former executive U.S. officials suspect of involvement in circumventing restrictions on advanced AI chips for Chinese firms.
