Trump Knew of Nvidia CEO's Spy Ties, Took No Action

President Trump was reportedly told by intelligence agencies that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was in a romantic relationship with an alleged Chinese spy, yet took no action, raising national security concerns of potentially historic magnitude. The New York Times reported that Marco Rubio delivered the warning to Trump before Huang joined the president at a May summit in Beijing, marking the second such briefing in seven months. Huang, a close adviser with White House access, allegedly had ties to Alice Huang, who U.S. officials suspect funneled Nvidia chips to China through a cutout company. Trump said Tuesday he asked Huang if he knew the woman was a spy, and Huang denied it. Huang stepped down Thursday, but the scandal raises questions about AI regulation, as Huang advocated lifting export controls while allegedly involved with an operative.
