US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio revised a CIA intelligence report concerning Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s relationship with a woman suspected of being a Chinese spy, according to a media report. As reported by the Washington Post, Rubio, who served as US National Security Advisor and Foreign Minister, used significantly harsher language in a memo, which ultimately led to Huang’s resignation. Huang had previously developed a close relationship with US President Donald Trump and successfully lobbied for Nvidia to be allowed to sell some of its AI chips to China. This reportedly put him in conflict with national security officials and China critics who feared that access to US technology could strengthen Beijing’s military and technological capabilities. CNN reports that CIA officials are not yet convinced that the suspected woman knowingly passed information to Beijing, while other officials continue to view her as a counterintelligence risk.
