President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing for a two‑day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, accompanied by a delegation of 16 top U.S. executives from technology, finance and manufacturing, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and CEOs of Qualcomm, Micron, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and others. The visit comes amid heightened U.S.–China tensions over trade, AI, semiconductor exports, Taiwan, fentanyl trafficking and the broader geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, and signals the growing role of corporate America in diplomatic negotiations as firms seek to secure supply‑chain stability and market access. Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.
