Washington:US Senators Elizabeth Warren and Chris Coons have urged the Trump administration to preserve all government records related to Nvidia's exports of advanced artificial intelligence chips to China. This request follows reports of a suspected Chinese intelligence operation involving Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang.

According to Anadolu Agency – English, the senators sent a letter to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Secretary of State and National Security Adviser Marco Rubio, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. They called for the preservation of documents, communications, and materials concerning Nvidia's exports and related national security concerns.

The senators demanded that preservation directives be confirmed in writing by November 17 and requested a congressional briefing on the potential national security risks associated with the reported intelligence operation. They expressed concerns about the federal government's enforcement of US export controls and the potential breach of national security.

Reports cited by the senators allege that Jensen Huang had a close personal relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive of Singapore-based Megaspeed, suspected by US intelligence of links to Chinese intelligence services. Megaspeed and its Malaysian affiliate reportedly purchased over $4.8 billion worth of Nvidia's advanced AI chips and equipment over the past three years, raising concerns about the sharing of sensitive information with Chinese authorities.
