President Donald Trump has invited executives from some of the biggest U.S. companies — including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg — to join his trip to China this week, according to a White House official.
Also expected to join Trump’s delegation for meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping are: Goldman Sachs‘s David Solomon, Blackstone Group’s Stephen Schwarzman, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Citigroup’s Jane Fraser and Meta Platforms executive Dina Powell McCormick, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the list has not been announced.
More than a dozen top executives are expected to participate in the trip, which Trump hopes will help secure a series of business deals and purchase agreements with Beijing.
The summit agenda is expected to cover trade, artificial intelligence, export controls, Taiwan and the Iran war, with both sides entering the talks after weeks of escalating tensions.
