Trump Travels to China for Major Summit With Xi With Tech Titans in Tow

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 11:25

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

The summit is big. Huge.

President Donald Trump is traveling to China alongside a CEO lineup that reads almost like a list of the most powerful companies in America.

The president is expected to pressure the Chinese president on Iran.

Financial Times: President Donald Trump will urge President Xi Jinping to curb China’s support for Iran when the leaders meet in Beijing this week. “I would expect the president to apply pressure,” a US official told reporters in a briefing. He said Trump would resume previous discussions with Xi about China’s support for Iran and Russia, including providing them with dual-use components and potential arms exports. “I expect that conversation to continue. I think you’ve seen some actions, meaning sanctions, coming out from the US side just in the last few days that I’m sure will be part of that conversation,” the official added. The state department on Friday imposed sanctions on three Chinese satellite companies for providing imagery and other services to Iran that helped it conduct military strikes against US forces in the Middle East. The Treasury also sanctioned Yushita Shanghai International Trade for helping Iran import man-portable air-defensive systems [Manpads] from China…. Trump and Xi are meeting six months after reaching a one-year trade war truce at their summit in South Korea. The second official said it was unclear if they would extend the ceasefire in Beijing, or later. “I’m confident that we’ll announce any potential extension at the appropriate time,” he said (Financial Times).

Entourage of Tech Leaders to Join Trump on China Trip

Including, notably, Elon Musk.

Rusty Weiss at RedState: President Trump and Elon Musk … reunited again. The president has personally invited the Tesla CEO, along with a powerful delegation of top American business leaders, including Apple’s Tim Cook and BlackRock’s Larry Fink, to join him on a high-stakes trip to China this week…. After months of distance following the 2024 election cycle, the high-profile reunion signals a renewed alliance as the Trump-Musk power duo prepares to negotiate major business deals and push for American interests. The band is back together again, albeit in a less dramatic capacity (RedState).

Joining the delegation are Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk of Tesla, Larry Fink, David Solomon, Jane Fraser, Stephen Schwarzman, Chuck Robbins, Cristiano Amon, and executives representing companies such as Boeing, Micron Technology, Visa, Mastercard, GE Aerospace, Cargill, and Meta Platforms.

The delegation spans nearly every major sector tied to the U.S.-China economic relationship, including semiconductors, AI infrastructure, consumer tech, banking, aerospace, payments, biotech, manufacturing, and agriculture.

The fact that so many CEOs are personally making the trip shows just how high the stakes remain for both sides.
