SENATE DRAMA 51-45 Vote Gives President Donald Trump One of Biggest Wins of His Presidency

Trump’s delegation includes a high-profile group of American business leaders, such as SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who joined the trip as a last-minute addition during a refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska. Trump confirmed Huang’s presence on Truth Social, countering earlier media reports and describing the group as “the World’s Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China.”

In a statement, Trump said his first request to Xi would be to further open China to U.S. businesses, calling it an idea that would benefit both nations. He listed several other executives on the trip, including Tim Cook of Apple, Larry Fink of BlackRock, and leaders from Boeing, Cargill, Citigroup, GE Aerospace, Goldman Sachs, Micron, and Qualcomm.
