Trump Heads to China With 17 CEOs Including Musk and Cook
US President Donald Trump will be joined by 17 American chief executives, including Tesla's Elon Musk and Apple's Tim Cook, on his trip to Beijing this week. The delegation is set to meet Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping for talks on trade and technology.
US President Donald Trump confirmed that 17 chief executives, including Tesla's Elon Musk, Apple's Tim Cook, and BlackRock's Larry Fink, will accompany him on his upcoming trip to China. The delegation marks the first US presidential visit to Beijing in nearly a decade and is being closely watched on both sides of the Pacific.
The trip aims to test a fragile tariff truce between Washington and Beijing while opening channels on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and trade flows. Cabinet members and senior business figures from finance, technology, and retail are expected to take part in bilateral discussions on supply chains and investment.
Analysts say the outcome could shape the trajectory of the world's two largest economies for the rest of the year. US equity markets have already priced in expectations of incremental progress, while Chinese officials have signalled openness to easing certain trade restrictions in return for tariff relief.
