Trump Contradicted on Nvidia CEO Spy Affair Knowledge

Newly revealed information contradicts President Donald Trump's claim that he was unaware of an espionage affair involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during a May trip to China, with reports indicating he was warned shortly before departure. The New York Times reports that Trump was alerted to the spy connection by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others just before Huang boarded the plane, while Trump stated over the weekend he had no knowledge at the time. New details also emerged about Huang's relationship with Alice Huang, the alleged spy, including photos from 2023 and reports they have known each other for over a decade. The scandal became public in late October when the New York Times first reported it, and Jensen Huang admitted to the affair but denied knowing his mistress was a spy. Trump was reportedly informed of the situation in fall 2025 but took no action, and Alice Huang allegedly boasted about receiving birthday gifts from the Nvidia founder.
