Trump to skip Nvidia spy affair in China talks, officials say

cnbc.com —

President Donald Trump does not plan to raise the issue of a suspected Chinese spy having an affair with former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang during his upcoming trip to China, senior U.S. officials told reporters on Friday evening. Officials said Elon Musk will accompany Trump to Shenzhen for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, where Trump plans a three-way meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The officials stated that export controls and the Huang matter will not be discussed with Chinese counterparts. Jensen Huang resigned this week as Nvidia's CEO after reports of an affair with Alice Huang, an executive at Megaspeed, a company under scrutiny for potentially diverting restricted Nvidia chips to China. The scandal has raised questions about Commerce Department enforcement under Secretary Howard Lutnick.
