Asharq relays NYT report that Trump was briefed on Huang

Asharq News, citing a New York Times account, reports that U.S. officials briefed Trump on the case late last year. It also describes a separate memo overseen by Marco Rubio weeks before the China trip: it went to a limited group of senior officials, was not addressed to Trump and was not shown to him aboard the presidential plane. An unnamed U.S. official told the paper Rubio informed Trump after learning Jensen Huang would join the trip in Alaska; people familiar with the matter said the information did not change Trump’s decision to take Huang. Trump later said he did not recall a briefing, though the issue may have been mentioned and had little impact. The timing of his knowledge remains unresolved.
