WASHINGTON – Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook are among more than a dozen business executives who will accompany President Donald Trump this week on his trip to China as part of the U.S. delegation, according to a White House official.
Trump is set to depart on May 12 for Beijing, making what will be the first trip to China from a U.S. president since Trump’s 2017 visit. The trip includes a high-stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping following a yearlong trade war between the world’s two largest economies and as global oil markets roil amid the Iran war.
