A New York Times report says American spy agencies concluded that Alice Huang, a Chinese executive at Singapore data center firm Megaspeed, was a Chinese intelligence asset who cultivated a close relationship with Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang, and that Mr. Trump was briefed on the findings in 2025 but chose not to act. The article details Megaspeed's suspected role in funneling Nvidia chips and computing power to China, Jensen Huang's successful lobbying to loosen chip export rules, and Nvidia's denials, while officials say the president's bond with the executive has impeded crackdowns.
