House Foreign Affairs Vice Ranking Member Amo Statement on Jensen Huang Resignation Days after Calling for Full Investigation

Washington, DC - TODAY, Congressman Gabe Amo (D-RI) issued the following statement on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation:

"This weekI led colleagues in calling for a full investigation into Jensen Huang's actions by Trump's Department of Commerce because they put us all at risk. No CEO or government official should be allowed to put America's technological edge in jeopardy.

Now, Trump must crack down on advanced chip exports before he hands our AI advantage to an adversary.

And we still need answers: What did this administration know, when did it know it, and who signed off on these exports?

Stop the shipments. Enforce the law. Give Congress and the American people the answers they deserve. Our security is not for sale."

Background

Earlier this week, Amo, Ranking Member Gregory Meeks (D-NY), and Ranking Member of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on South and Central Asia Sydney Kamlager-Dove (D-CA) sent a letter demanding answers from Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick about the Trump Administration's approval of advanced AI chip exports, including to companies with concerning links to China and amid alarming reports of potential Chinese intelligence ties to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.

In January 2026, Meeks and Amochallenged Secretary Lutnick over President Trump's dangerous decision to loosen export controls and approve the sale of advanced AI chips to China.
