Republican senators publicly demanded that Jensen Huang resign, and a former economic advisor to Trump called for him to step down immediately

U.S. Republican Senator Kevin Cramer accepted an interview with POLITICO and publicly called for Jensen Huang to resign as CEO of NVIDIA. He believes that Huang's extramarital affair poses a serious potential blackmail risk, especially considering that NVIDIA holds highly sensitive AI chip technology. Cramer stated, "The risk of being blackmailed is just too great; I think he must go."Cramer is a member of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is reviewing several bills aimed at strengthening export controls on advanced AI chips. He believes that while it is certainly possible for NVIDIA's board to initiate an internal investigation, it is far from enough. Earlier that day, Larry Kudlow, the former director of the White House National Economic Council during Trump's first term, also publicly urged on Fox Business, "Mr. Huang, resign now." He believes this is a reasonable action for Jensen Huang to take at this time.As the controversy escalates, the U.S. Congress is also accelerating its scrutiny of NVIDIA's chip exports. The three bills under consideration by the Senate Banking Committee involve strengthening export approvals for advanced chips, tracking the destination of chips, and restricting the export of certain semiconductor manufacturing equipment. These bills are vying to be included in the annual National Defense Authorization Act and have not yet been fully passed.

Paraguayan President Santiago Peña announced his resignation on Thursday due to a political crisis triggered by the collapse of digital bank Ueno Bank. In a video posted on the X platform, Peña stated that his resignation was to maintain national stability, social peace, and democratic institutions, with his primary task being to protect the Paraguayan people who entrusted their savings to the financial system.The Central Bank of Paraguay announced on Tuesday the initiation of liquidation procedures for Ueno Bank after discovering that its solvency ratio had fallen below half of the regulatory minimum requirement. Peña is facing political scrutiny due to his previous business ties with Grupo Vázquez, the holding company of Ueno Bank; according to the Associated Press, he remained a business partner of the group until March 2025. Peña denied any wrongdoing, stating that the controversy initially was merely a regulatory issue that escalated into a political dispute.This banking crisis is also accompanied by rising quotes for Tether's USDt in the peer-to-peer market targeting Paraguay, with a bid on Thursday morning quoted at 1 USD to 6942 Paraguayan Guarani, approximately 13% higher than the Central Bank's reference rate of 6144.02 on November 4. According to Reuters, lawmakers are debating impeachment proceedings over allegations of conflicts of interest, pension abuse, and institutional cover-ups. Peña was elected in April 2023 and took office in August of the same year, with a five-year term originally set to end in 2028; if Congress accepts his resignation, Vice President Pedro Alliana will assume the remaining term.

The Democratic Party won both houses of Congress, and the Israeli opposition seized the opportunity to demand Netanyahu's resignation

In the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party won control of both houses of Congress, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to face fierce criticism from domestic political opponents. The opposition accused him of long publicly supporting the Republican Party, undermining Israel's traditional bipartisan support in the U.S., and using the election results to push for the formation of a new government without Netanyahu.Yair Golan, leader of Israel's center-left opposition party, stated that the election results reflect Netanyahu's negative impact within both the Democratic and Republican parties in the U.S. Centrist leader Yair Lapid warned that Netanyahu's continued rule would jeopardize Israel's security and international standing.U.S.-Israel relations may also face new pressures. With the Democratic Party controlling Congress, there may be pressure on Israel through hearings, oversight investigations, and budget measures. Previously, there had been a shift within the Democratic Party regarding support for Israel's military actions and U.S. aid, a trend exacerbated by the military actions jointly launched by Trump and Netanyahu against Iran. Meanwhile, Israeli President Isaac Herzog plans to meet with representatives from various parties on Wednesday and Thursday to initiate the process of forming a new government. Netanyahu currently remains in office as caretaker Prime Minister.

first_img Microsoft opens a voluntary resignation program to about 60,000 employees

According to a report by Financial Associated Press, Microsoft announced on October 26 local time that it will offer a voluntary severance compensation plan to approximately 60,000 employees to reduce costs and adjust its workforce for the AI era. More than a quarter of the total employee count is eligible, marking the company's third round of workforce adjustments this year.A spokesperson stated that some vice presidents and below in the United States, Canada, India, and the United Kingdom are eligible to apply, and those who accept the plan will receive benefits similar to standard severance packages. According to informed sources, departments such as Xbox, Windows, Copilot, and finance will fully participate, while some employees in data centers, sales, marketing, cybersecurity, and quantum computing will not be eligible. Chief Human Resources Officer Amy Coleman mentioned in an internal letter that the plan provides an option for employees considering leaving to transition with the company's support, and it is another way for departments to adjust their teams. The spokesperson also noted that if top talent accepts the plan, the company will attempt to retain them in some cases.In April this year, Microsoft launched its first voluntary retirement program for about 8,750 eligible U.S. employees, with over 30% ultimately accepting; in July, it announced layoffs of approximately 4,800 people, accounting for about 2.1% of the total workforce. The spokesperson expects the number of acceptances this time to be far less than the voluntary retirement program. As of the end of June, Microsoft had a total of 223,000 employees. According to the financial report on July 29, capital expenditures for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2026 were $41 billion, a year-on-year increase of about 70%, and capital expenditures for the first quarter of fiscal year 2027 are expected to be about $50 billion.
