Trump reportedly won't raise Nvidia allegations during China visit
U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly does not plan to raise espionage allegations involving Nvidia's former CEO Jensen Huang during his upcoming visit to China.
According to senior U.S. officials, Trump will focus on economic matters and the implementation of the trade agreement between the two countries during meetings in Shenzhen, China, as part of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit. Officials stated that developments involving Nvidia are not on the agenda for discussions with Chinese representatives and added that Elon Musk will accompany Trump during the visit.
Nvidia's board of directors launched an independent investigation on November 8 following allegations linking Jensen Huang to foreign intelligence activities. The investigation was reportedly initiated after reports emerged about Huang's close relationship with businesswoman Alice Huang, who was accused of passing information to the Chinese government. Following these developments, Jensen Huang stepped down from his positions as chairman, CEO, and board member of Nvidia, while the company's Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress was appointed interim CEO. The Trump administration is expected to keep the allegations outside diplomatic discussions and prioritize U.S.-China economic relations.
