Summary
President Donald Trump has invited executives from some of the biggest U.S. companies, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, BlackRock's CEO Larry Fink and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, to join his trip to China this week, according to a White House official. A spokesperson for Cisco said CEO Chuck Robbins had been invited by the White House to join the trip but is unable to attend due to the company's earnings schedule. The executives will join Trump on the trip during which he has said he hopes to secure a series of business deals and purchase agreements with Beijing. The summit agenda is expected to cover trade, artificial intelligence, export controls, Taiwan and the Iran war, with both sides entering the talks after weeks of escalating tensions.
