After Jensen Huang is Howard Lutnick the prime target of national security inquiry? | Fortune

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has emerged as a focus of a national security inquiry following scrutiny of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Fortune reported. The probe adds pressure on Lutnick, a key architect of the administration's export-control and tariff agenda, over his handling of policies affecting the semiconductor sector. The report did not specify the inquiry's scope or which agency is leading it. The scrutiny matters because Lutnick oversees the Commerce Department's export controls, which govern Nvidia's ability to sell advanced chips abroad. Investors should watch for formal disclosures on the inquiry's scope and any signal that it could complicate the administration's chip-export strategy.
