- He said the intelligence had made little impact on him.
- Trump said Huang told him he did not know she was a spy.

## Summary

Trump said he would check whether he had read an intelligence memo about Nvidia chief Jensen Huang’s alleged relationship with a suspected Chinese spy, adding that the information had made little impact on him. His comments renew questions about what he knew and when, following reports that he had received intelligence before the relationship became public.

Trump did not give a date for when he first heard about the matter, saying only that it was not too long ago and that he would check. He said Huang told him he had no idea the woman was a spy, and that he believed him; Trump also praised Huang as honourable and said he hoped he would be all right. Reports say Secretary of State Marco Rubio helped draft a memo for officials before Trump’s May visit to China; Huang has acknowledged being unfaithful, and Nvidia has opened an investigation.
