House Foreign Affairs Committee chair Brian Mast says he will subpoena Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang unless Huang responds by November 11 to a request for a closed-door briefing, Tom's Hardware reported, citing ABC News. The proposed November 18 meeting would involve the heads of the House committees on China, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence and address Nvidia's security protocols against foreign espionage.

Nvidia's board has also said it will launch an independent investigation into allegations that China's Ministry of State Security targeted Huang. Whether intelligence agencies targeted him remains unclear.
