Briefings

A report claims Donald Trump ignored intelligence about a Chinese spy plot targeting Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, allegedly to protect Nvidia's stock. Intelligence sources indicate Trump was briefed that Beijing received reports of Alice Huang, a Chinese executive at Megaspeed, having direct access to Huang. The US suspected Huang was helping China evade export controls, but investigators found she may have used her role to gain access to Nvidia. It is now believed she may have leveraged this closeness to feed China intel and influence Trump's thinking on AI. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed Trump's alignment with Huang ahead of AI talks with President Xi Jinping.
