Trump not expected to raise Alice Huang case with China's Xi, US officials say

US President Donald Trump is not anticipated to bring up the Alice Huang case during his upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, according to US officials. The meeting is scheduled to take place next week as Trump embarks on a four-day trip to Asia for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Shenzhen, China. The Alice Huang case involves relations between former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang and the businesswoman, raising national security concerns.

Though semiconductor issues have been a significant point of contention in US-China relations, it appears that Trump is not expected to disclose details of the Alice Huang case to Xi at this time. A senior administration official stated that "When it comes to some of these national security matters and examinations and investigations that are going on in the US, it’s probably not something that we’re going to read the Chinese in on at this moment."

Another official emphasized, "I don’t expect the president to raise it, the Alice Huang issue." The allegations against Huang, which were reported by the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, allege that she may have been spying for China. However, Beijing has denied these claims. Jensen Huang, in a recent statement, apologized for being unfaithful to his wife and disappointing the company, though he did not specifically address the Alice Huang allegations.
