Trump doesn’t plan to raise Nvidia, spy issue during China trip: U.S. officials
US officials say Donald Trump does not expect to discuss Nvidia export controls or allegations involving Alice Huang with Chinese President Xi Jinping during his trip to China. The comments suggest the administration intends to keep the trade talks focused on implementing an existing agreement, while handling US national security investigations separately.
Nvidia CEO Huang resigned this week after reports of an affair with Alice Huang, a former executive at cloud-computing company Megaspeed, which is under scrutiny over suspected shipments of restricted Nvidia chips to China. The allegations have prompted questions about US enforcement; China has called them baseless. An official also said Elon Musk would join Trump because of his business interests and potential value as an adviser.
In short
- Trump is not expected to raise Nvidia or Alice Huang with Xi.
- The talks are expected to focus on carrying out the trade agreement.
- Megaspeed is being scrutinised over suspected restricted chip shipments.
