Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and more than a dozen top business executives are set to join President Trump on his trip to China later this week, a White House official told The Hill.
Trump, who is traveling to Beijing on Thursday and Friday for meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, plans to bring a group of prominent leaders from the finance, technology, and manufacturing sectors.
The delegation includes Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, Mastercard president Michael Miebach, and Visa CEO Ryan McInerney.
Also joining the president are Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, Cargill CEO Brian Sikes, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, Coherent CEO Jim Anderson, General Electric CEO Larry Culp, Illumina CEO Jacob Thaysen, Meta president Dina Powell McCormick, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, and Qualcomm CEO Christiano Amon.
Trump similarly brought a group of business leaders on his trip to Saudi Arabia last May. Several executives traveling to Beijing — including Musk, Schwarzman, Fink, Fraser, Ortberg, and Powell McCormick — also joined the Riyadh delegation.
The Beijing visit was originally scheduled for early April but was postponed during the U.S. conflict with Iran.
