NYT: Rubio Oversaw Classified Spring Memo Warning Trump Officials of Huang's Chinese-Spy Ties

Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the drafting of a highly classified memo in spring 2026 warning top Trump administration officials that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang was in a close relationship with a Chinese spy, per the NYT. The memo, distributed to officials with high-level clearances before Trump's May China trip, drew on electronic surveillance of Alice Huang and concluded Beijing's MSS had recruited her to gather information on US AI chips and push Jensen Huang to lobby Washington for looser export controls.
