President Donald Trump will travel to China this week accompanied by a delegation of 16 top executives from major global industries, according to The New York Times. The group includes Elon Musk (Tesla), Tim Cook (Apple), and Larry Fink (BlackRock), alongside CEOs such as Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), Stephen Schwarzman (Blackstone), and Larry Culp (GE Aerospace).
Other participants include leaders from Cargill, Citi, Coherent, Illumina, Mastercard, Micron, and Visa. The only women in the delegation are Jane Fraser (Citi) and Dina Powell (Meta).
The visit is expected to focus on establishing U.S.-China investment and trade boards. Musk’s inclusion signals a potential thaw in relations following his 2025 departure from the Trump administration, where he led the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
