Hillary Clinton predicts that Donald Trump will give more credence to Xi Jinping than US intelligence agencies in the espionage case involving Nvidia. She made the prediction on her High Stakes show while discussing Trump’s future meeting with the Chinese leader, according to Zambian Observer.

Hillary Clinton, a former US secretary of state, predicts that Donald Trump will side with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s version rather than that of US intelligence agencies when they discuss an espionage case linked to chipmaker Nvidia. She made the prediction on her High Stakes podcast, broadcast on 12 November, according to Zambian Observer.

Clinton believes Trump does not trust US intelligence services when they contradict what he wants to believe. She anticipates that the US president will ask Xi Jinping whether the allegations of Chinese espionage are well founded and will accept his answer if the Chinese leader denies them.

The controversy concerns Jensen Huang, then head of Nvidia, and suspicions that a Chinese spy sought to obtain information about the group’s activities and China’s access to its most powerful chips intended for artificial intelligence. Jensen Huang is already at the centre of an espionage case examined by the US Senate.
