Elon Musk and Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach are expected to join President Donald Trump’s delegation to China for the APEC summit, according to reports citing sources. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s participation is uncertain amid scrutiny over whether a woman with whom he reportedly had an affair was linked to Chinese intelligence. Nvidia’s board and U.S. lawmakers are examining the matter, while China has rejected the spy allegations as baseless. Trump has defended Huang, saying he believes Huang did not know of any alleged intelligence ties, but Huang’s attendance remains in doubt.
