Musk expected to join Trump at APEC; Huang's attendance reportedly uncertain
NVDA•Tesla CEO Elon Musk is expected to join President Donald Trump's delegation to China for next week's APEC summit, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's attendance is reportedly uncertain. The summit is set for November 18-19 in Shenzhen.
1. Delegation attendance uncertain
Top US business leaders, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, are expected to join Trump’s delegation to China for next week’s APEC summit. Huang had previously been in talks to join, but his participation is now in doubt.
2. Nvidia board probe
Nvidia’s board launched a probe on Sunday into whether Huang was the target of a foreign intelligence effort, after a report alleged he had a close relationship with a Chinese businesswoman who passed information to Beijing. Huang’s addition to the trip was especially important for Nvidia, which has struggled to get regulatory permission to sell its H200 AI chips in China. Asked Sunday whether he would take Huang on his Asia trip, Trump said, “I don't know, but I'd certainly take him.”
