US commerce secretary Howard Lutnick had recieved a confidential memo revealing Nvidia's CEO, Jensen Huang's ties to a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy. The memo was circulated ahead of President Trump's visit to China in May. Although US officials alerted Trump about Huang’s connections, no action was taken, and Huang was invited on the trip. This situation has raised alarms over Huang's role in shaping AI policies and decisions affecting Nvidia.
