Trump to Skip Nvidia Scandal Talks in Meeting With Chinese President Xi

US President Donald Trump is not expected to raise allegations regarding Chinese involvement in the Nvidia scandal during his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to CNBC, citing senior White House officials. Senior officials also stated that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk will accompany Trump on his trip to Shenzhen, China, for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit scheduled for November 18 and 19.

Earlier, the White House announced that Trump plans to hold a trilateral summit there with Xi and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang resigned on Thursday following the exposure of several affairs, including one with Alice Huang (no relation), who allegedly spied for China and founded a company named Mega Speed that purchased smuggled Nvidia AI chips. These chips were installed in a data center in Shanghai linked to that company.

"The situation with Nvidia is not expected to truly impact the trip," a senior White House official said in a briefing with reporters. When asked if Trump would raise the allegations against Alice Huang with Xi, the official stated: "The focus of the meeting with the Chinese president, at least on the economic side, will be the implementation of the trade agreement. National security issues, along with ongoing reviews and investigations in the US, are not something we will share with the Chinese at this moment."

Another official added: "I do not expect the President to raise the issue of Alice Huang." Meanwhile, China has claimed that the allegations against Alice Huang are completely baseless.
