U.S. President Donald Trump says former Apple CEO Tim Cook should replace Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who resigned. Multiple outlets report Trump makes the claim on social media, describing Cook as “a legend” who should take Huang’s place, and framing it as a direct suggestion rather than part of Nvidia’s formal hiring process.
Several reports provide additional context on the corporate transition at Nvidia, noting Huang’s departure triggers a search for a new permanent chief executive and that Nvidia’s chief financial officer, Colette Kress, moves in as interim CEO. Coverage also includes discussion of how Apple hardware and chip leadership are perceived in the tech sector, with some outlets pointing to analysts’ expectations that Apple leadership could be among the candidates. One outlet focuses on potential spillover considerations for Apple, while another argues the notion of Cook being chosen is speculative.
Across the set, most outlets primarily emphasize Trump’s remarks. A smaller number add details about candidate lists or wider industry chatter, including references to Apple executives such as Johny Srouji being discussed in connection with silicon expertise. Overall, the outlets largely agree on the core timeline and the figures named, while differing in how much they attribute broader candidate discussions to analysts versus reported sources.
