Who Is in Trump's Entourage of Billionaires and Executives in Beijing?
Trump brought corporate chiefs and top aides to seek investment deals and ease trade tensions after US soybean exports to China fell 75% in 2025.
- President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Thursday for a two-day summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, bringing 17 business titans to prioritize trade negotiations and greater market access.
- Trade relations have remained strained since last year's "Freedom Day" tariffs sparked a tit-for-tat war, causing American soybean exports to China to drop by 75 per cent in 2025.

- Discussions also address the $11 billion US weapons package for Taiwan, which China opposes, while Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent urged Beijing to stop funding Iranian energy via oil purchases.
