Among those scheduled to join the delegation are Apple CEO Tim Cook and Tesla chief Elon Musk, alongside executives from major firms such as BlackRock, Blackstone, Boeing, Cargill, Citi, General Electric Aerospace, Goldman Sachs, Meta, Micron, Mastercard, Illumina, Qualcomm, Visa, and others.

Cisco initially appeared on the list, but the company later said its chief executive, Chuck Robbins, would not take part in the trip.

Previously, a number of US officials noted that Trump is seeking to explore new frameworks for economic engagement with China, including potential investment and trade-focused boards designed to deepen structured cooperation between the two economies.

The visit comes amid broader efforts by Washington to stabilize economic ties with Beijing while maintaining competition across strategic sectors.
