Elon Musk, Tim Cook and other CEOs set to join Trump’s China trip

High-profile executives, including Tesla’s Elon Musk and Apple’s Tim Cook, are reportedly set to join President Donald Trump on his upcoming visit to China, according to a Bloomberg News report citing a White House official.

The delegation is also expected to include prominent figures such as David Solomon of Goldman Sachs Group, Stephen Schwarzman from Blackstone, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Jane Fraser of Citigroup and Dina Powell McCormick from Meta Platforms. Musk and other business leaders in the U.S. delegation have major business interests in China.

This group of more than a dozen top executives will accompany Trump for his summit with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping.

The U.S. president hopes this visit will unlock a series of trade deals and purchase agreements with Beijing. Discussions at the summit are likely to focus on trade, artificial intelligence, export controls, Taiwan and the war in Iran. The war is expected to feature prominently in the talks, given that China is Iran’s biggest oil buyer and Trump has called on Beijing to help the U.S. reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

China said Trump will make a state visit from May 13 to 15, according to the Xinhua official news agency.
