Trump Knew of Nvidia CEO’s Suspected Spy Ties Before Beijing Visit | Honolulu Star-Advertiser
The disclosures prompted Nvidia to open an independent investigation and deepened concerns over U.S.-China AI tensions, with China calling the allegations a smear.
- On the flight to China in May, President Donald Trump received intelligence that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was involved with a woman believed to be a Chinese spy, contradicting his later claims of ignorance about the issue.
- It marked at least the second time in seven months the President had been told of intelligence regarding Huang's involvement with Alice Huang, disclosures that rattled Nvidia and fueled concerns about China's access to advanced American AI technology.
- Trump defended the executive on Monday, calling him "a very honorable man," while Huang saw the President "very briefly" aboard Air Force One and "remained in the separate part of the plane for almost all of the trip."
- Nvidia announced Sunday it is conducting an independent investigation into reports that Huang was the "target of a foreign intelligence effort," while the Chinese Foreign Ministry dismissed the allegations on Tuesday as "groundless speculation and slander."
- Trump is scheduled to visit China again next week; despite launching a trade war, he has pursued rapprochement with Chinese leader Jinping over the past 12 months, creating friction with Congress members who maintain a more hawkish stance on Beijing.
