## Summary

Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang joined President Donald Trump’s May 2026 state visit to China, travelling aboard Air Force One as he pursued opportunities in the Chinese chip market. The trip has drawn renewed scrutiny after reports emerged that Huang had an affair with Alice Huang, a business executive suspected of spying for China.

Huang boarded the presidential aircraft in Anchorage on 12 May, after arriving on his own jet with an aide and bodyguard; Trump aide Walt Nauta escorted him, and he spoke briefly with Eric Trump and Sean Hannity. Five months later, Huang acknowledged the affair. Alice Huang worked at Megaspeed International, which faced allegations of illegally shipping advanced Nvidia chips to China. Trump said he had not known of the concerns before the visit and that Huang told him he was unaware she was a spy; a report said Secretary of State Marco Rubio had warned Trump. Huang will not join Trump on his planned return visit to China.
