President Donald Trump publicly endorses Tim Cook as his top choice to succeed Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang as the company’s next chief executive. The endorsement comes as Nvidia announces Huang is resigning as CEO and stepping down from the board, raising questions about who will lead the chipmaker at a pivotal time for its role in AI infrastructure.
Across coverage, outlets connect the selection discussion to Cook’s leadership background at Apple, including his role in running the company following Steve Jobs’ death. One report also frames Trump’s comments as part of a broader view of leadership succession “from a legend,” while another focuses on the process of identifying successors and notes that Cook is Trump’s preferred candidate among a wider set of names being considered.
