(Central News Agency, Washington, 11th, comprehensive foreign report) US President Trump is expected to visit China this week. White House officials told Reuters that the accompanying delegation includes Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, GE Aerospace CEO Larry Culp, and Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, among others.
According to the official, other accompanying business executives include Meta President Dina Powell McCormick, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink, Blackstone CEO Stephen Schwarzman, Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins, Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra, Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon, and Visa CEO Ryan McInerney.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told Reuters in April that Boeing hopes the Trump administration can help facilitate a long-delayed major order from China.
Industry sources indicate that the order could include 500 737 MAX aircraft and dozens of wide-body aircraft equipped with GE engines.
This would be China's first large order from Boeing since 2017, and any related announcement would be seen as a major victory for the US-China leaders' summit and could become the largest aircraft order in history.
On the other hand, sources revealed today that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will not be accompanying Trump to Beijing this time.
Sources noted that Huang was not invited. The White House's trip will focus on agricultural and commercial aviation matters, such as the Boeing aircraft procurement case. The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Since taking office, Trump has established a good relationship with Huang and agreed to allow Nvidia's H200 chips to be exported to China.
However, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick stated on April 22 that these chips have not yet been sold due to difficulties Chinese companies face in obtaining procurement permits from the Chinese government. (Compiled by: Liu Shu-chin) 1150512
