Report: Trump did nothing with intel that China planted spy close to Nvidia CEO

By ApplyDjinn·Digest published

Overview

A New York Times report says Donald Trump was briefed about a year ago that Beijing was getting reports from someone with direct access to Nvidia chief Jensen Huang. People granted anonymity said he ignored that intelligence partly to shield Nvidia stock.

Key facts

  • Sources identified that person as Alice Huang, or Huang Le, a Chinese citizen and former top executive at Singapore cloud company Megaspeed, unrelated to Jensen Huang.
  • Investigators already suspected she helped China evade export controls for high-end Nvidia chips via Megaspeed, then gained direct access to Jensen Huang.
  • Scott Bessent said last month, before Trump AI talks with Xi Jinping, that the president is completely aligned with Jensen Huang.

Key figures

  • about a year ago — when sources say Trump was briefed on the Beijing reports
  • last month — when Scott Bessent spoke ahead of Trump AI talks with Xi

Context
