NYT: Trump-Lutnick Closeness to Huang Made Officials Wary of Reining In Nvidia China Sales

The New York Times reported November 12 that President Trump's and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's unusually close relationships with Jensen Huang made administration officials wary of taking aggressive steps against Nvidia's China chip sales, helping explain months of delay on Megaspeed Entity-List additions and remote-access rules. The reporting adds a political dimension to the Commerce-DOJ-Rubio paper trail already surfaced this week and is expected to feed Senate Banking's December hearings with Huang and Lutnick.
