Before Donald Trump flew to Beijing in May, a US intelligence memo about Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang circulated among a small group of senior officials. 

It alleged that Huang had been romantically involved with Alice Huang, an executive at one of Nvidia’s Singapore customers. US intelligence believes China’s Ministry of State Security recruited her as a spy, the Financial Times reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

The White House and CIA declined to comment on the report. Nvidia declined to comment on the memo or the allegation of a romantic relationship. Nvidia has previously described the pair’s interactions as routine customer contact, saying its chief executive speaks with “thousands of customer executives every year”.
