The California-based company said that Colette Kress - who has been Nvidia's chief financial officer and executive vice president since 2013 - will step into the role of interim CEO.

Alleged spy plot targeting CEO raises questions about Nvidia's future

Investigations into whether Nvidia's CEO was the target of a "foreign intelligence effort" are raising questions about the future of the chipmaker, which became one of the world's most valuable companies by providing technology that powered the artificial intelligence boom. Jensen Huang has been synonymous with Nvidia since he co-founded it more than 30 years ago. The company now faces potential damage to its reputation and stock price, uncertainty over a possible successor and new scrutiny from shareholders and elected officials.

But Trump said he spoke with the executive and believes Huang "had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy."
