Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang joined Trump on Air Force One months before Chinese spy affair emerged

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang boarded Air Force One in May 2026 for a state visit to China at President Trump's invitation, months before his affair with an alleged Chinese spy was revealed. The trip has since become a political controversy. Huang joined the presidential plane in Anchorage, Alaska, after arriving on his private jet with a bodyguard and aide. He spoke with Eric Trump and Sean Hannity before boarding, and later attended a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and a state dinner. Five months after the trip, Huang admitted to an affair with Alice Huang, a suspected Chinese spy. Trump said he was unaware of warnings about her before the trip, though Secretary of State Marco Rubio reportedly raised concerns. Trump has defended Huang and said he will not accompany him on the next China visit.
