Musk expected to join Trump at APEC; Huang’s participation in doubt, SCMP reports
Elon Musk is expected to join Donald Trump’s delegation to China for next week’s APEC summit, while Nvidia chief Jensen Huang’s attendance is uncertain. His possible absence matters because Nvidia has been seeking permission to sell its H200 artificial intelligence chips in China, making the trip a chance to address business issues.
The summit is scheduled for 18 and 19 November in Shenzhen. Huang had been in talks to join the delegation, but Nvidia’s board is investigating whether he was targeted in a foreign intelligence operation following allegations about his ties to a Chinese businesswoman. Trump said he did not know whether Huang would travel, but would “certainly” take him.
In short
- Musk is expected to join Trump’s China delegation.
- Huang’s attendance at the Shenzhen summit is uncertain.
- Nvidia is investigating allegations of a foreign intelligence operation.
