Elon Musk, Apple's Cook and Boeing CEO going to China with Trump, official says

The trip aims to advance trade talks and could include a Boeing order for up to 500 737 MAX jets, industry sources said.

  • President Donald Trump is visiting China this week with a delegation of top executives, including Elon Musk, Apple Inc.'s Tim Cook, and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, aiming to secure new business deals.
  • The White House delegation includes leaders from major financial, technology, aerospace, and agricultural firms, such as BlackRock Inc. executive Larry Fink, Blackstone Inc. executive Stephen Schwarzman, and Visa Inc. executive Ryan McInerney.
  • Ortberg hopes the administration will facilitate a long-awaited order from Beijing that could include 500 737 MAX jets and dozens of widebody planes powered by General Electric engines.
  • The White House did not invite Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to join the trip, instead prioritizing agriculture and commercial aviation matters over the company's advanced artificial intelligence chips.
  • Any major airplane order announced during the leaders' summit would be considered a significant win, potentially marking the single largest aircraft purchase in history as the delegation pursues strengthened economic ties.
