US Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the preparation of a highly classified memo warning senior Trump administration officials about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s alleged relationship with a woman suspected of working for Chinese intelligence. The memo reportedly followed an earlier US intelligence assessment that the woman was an intelligence asset for Beijing.
According to The New York Times, President Donald Trump had been briefed about the findings around a year earlier but chose not to take action. The revelations have raised concerns about potential national security risks, Nvidia’s corporate security and China’s efforts to gain access to advanced artificial intelligence technology.
Nvidia has also launched an independent investigation into the matter following reports about the alleged relationship and possible intelligence concerns.

US intelligence agencies reportedly concluded last year that Alice Huang, also known as Huang Le, was working as an intelligence asset for the Chinese government.
Alice Huang is a Chinese citizen and a senior executive at Singapore-based data centre company Megaspeed. US intelligence officials suspected that she was gathering information for Beijing, potentially through her alleged relationship with Jensen Huang, one of the most influential executives in the global artificial intelligence industry.
The intelligence assessments, first reported by The New York Times earlier this year, emerged amid scrutiny of Megaspeed over suspicions that the company may have helped Chinese businesses gain access to advanced AI chips manufactured by Nvidia.
