Nvidia faces tougher Washington scrutiny as Republicans and Warren press Huang
Semafor reports that Jensen Huang's ties to President Donald Trump are unlikely to shield Nvidia from harder export controls and calls for him to testify before Congress.
Key points

Nvidia faces a more hostile Washington after the election, and Jensen Huang's relationship with President Donald Trump probably will not protect the chipmaker, according to a Semafor report cited by Cointelegraph. The report says Republicans are preparing stricter export controls on chips even as victorious Democrats look set to lead regulatory committees.
Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren wants the Nvidia chief executive to testify before Congress about the company's chip sales to China and related matters.
Huang had earlier met the president to discuss export controls on Nvidia's chips.
