The Trump administration is planning to invite chief executives from major companies such as NVIDIA, Apple, ExxonMobil, and Boeing to accompany the president on his upcoming visit to China next week. The delegation will also include executives from Qualcomm, Blackstone, Citigroup, and Visa, with the list potentially expanding further. Sources familiar with the matter say that Treasury Secretary Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Grilley, and U.S. Ambassador to China Purdue are involved in recommending potential invitees. Meanwhile, Trump himself has recently hinted during conversations with corporate executives that he intends to meet with Chinese leaders in Beijing, intensifying competition among business leaders vying for inclusion in the delegation. The core objective of this trip is to seek an extension of the trade truce reached last October in South Korea, and to design new government-to-government mechanisms concerning the two-way flow of non-sensitive products and investment arrangements. The U.S. is considering establishing a "Trade Committee" and an "Investment Committee," but Grilley emphasized these would be government-to-government arrangements and would not involve participation by corporate executives. The report also notes that the two sides might discuss launching a dialogue on artificial intelligence safety.
