Asharq reports Trump was briefed on concerns before Huang’s China trip
Asharq News reports, citing the New York Times and unnamed U.S. sources, that Trump received a briefing about intelligence concerns involving Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang before Huang joined the U.S. delegation to China in May 2026. Asharq also reports that Secretary of State Marco Rubio alerted Trump when Huang joined the trip. Trump told reporters he did not recall whether he had received an earlier briefing and said he would review the matter. Saudi Gazette reported that Trump believed Huang did not know of the woman’s alleged ties to Chinese intelligence and did not think he would raise the matter with Xi Jinping. Asharq’s account does not connect the briefing to H200 export approvals.
