Huang, in an internal note to Nvidia employees, admitted to the affair, and said he would fully cooperate with the board in its investigation.
The Nvidia CEO developed a close relationship with Trump over the past two years, with the president championing Huang for Nvidia's progress in the artificial intelligence industry.
Huang has consistently accompanied Trump on his state visits, most notably China earlier this year and the UK in 2025.
Trump, when questioned over whether he would take Huang with him on a trip to Asia next week, said "I don't know, but I'd certainly take him."
