techMay 12, 202672121

President Trump will travel to Beijing this week with about 17 US chief executives, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook, to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The delegation will address trade, technology and investment topics tied to supply chains, export controls and bilateral business ties. The group will include executives from aerospace to semiconductors, creating a business front for negotiating commitments alongside diplomatic talks. Their presence matters because direct CEO access could influence tariffs, chip export rules and where major tech firms choose to manufacture and invest.
