economic diplomacy

President-elect Donald Trump is leading a delegation of prominent American CEOs, including Elon Musk and Tim Cook, to China for critical economic and security discussions. The group will meet with President Xi Jinping to address trade, AI, and geopolitical issues. While many industry leaders are attending, some, like Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, are notably absent, suggesting strategic considerations for sensitive technology sectors. The mission aims to leverage private sector engagement to navigate complex U.S.-China relations.
