LIVE THREAD: ~ 2026 state visit by Donald Trump to China
« on: May 12, 2026, 10:04:47 am »
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is scheduled to make a state visit to China with his wife, the first lady of the United States, Melania Trump. This visit would be Trump's second state visit to China, and the first to occur during his second presidency. Trump's first state visit to China occurred in November 2017 when he was received by Chinese leader Xi Jinping during his first presidency. This would also be the first time a U.S. president had visited China in almost nine years, the last time being Trump's visit during November 2017.

US President Donald Trump is expected to bring a host of top business and technology industry executives on his trip to China this week.

Among those set to join the president on his official trip to Beijing are Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk of Tesla and SpaceX, Larry Fink of BlackRock, as well as other executives from Meta, Visa, JP Morgan, Boeing, Cargill and more.

In total, 17 US executives will join Trump on the trip, a White House official with knowledge of the plans told the BBC.

The trip is seen as important for the US, as Trump will meet with President Xi Jinping at a time of growing economic and technological animosity between the two countries.

In addition to Musk, Cook and Fink, the full list of the executives set to join Trump as part of the official US delegation to China is as follows:

    Dina Powell McCormick, president and vice chair of Meta
    Kelly Ortberg, president and chief executive of Boeing
    Ryan McInerney, chief executive of Visa
    Stephen Schwarzman, chief executive of Blackstone
    Brian Sikes, chief executive and chairman of Cargill
    Jane Fraser, chief executive of Citi
    Jim Anderson, chief executive of Coherent
    Henry Lawrence Culp, chief executive of GE Aerospace
    David Solomon, chief executive of Goldman Sachs
    Jacob Thaysen, chief executive of Illumina
    Michael Miebach, president of Mastercard

Absent from the list is Nvidia boss Jensen Huang, whose company is central to the rivalry between the US and China over computer chips and artificial intelligence (AI).

Trump to confront Xi at high-stakes summit over China backing for Iran, Russia

The Trump administration is ramping pressure on China over what U.S. officials describe as Beijing’s economic and material support for Iran and Russia ahead of President Donald Trump’s upcoming summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

A senior administration official told reporters Sunday that Trump already has spoken "multiple times" with Xi about "the revenue that China provides to both those regimes and therefore as well as dual use goods, components and parts, not to mention the potential of weapons exports."

"I expect that conversation to continue," the official said during a White House preview call ahead of Trump’s trip to Beijing.

The comments underscore how deeply Iran and Russia have become intertwined with the broader U.S.–China relationship, with the administration increasingly framing Beijing not only as an economic competitor but also as a critical enabler of adversarial regimes.

"You've seen some actions, meaning sanctions coming out from the U.S. side just in the last few days that I'm sure will be part of that conversation," the official added.

China ordered firms in early May to ignore U.S. sanctions targeting Iranian oil, a direct test of the U.S. crackdown.

A new directive, issued through China’s Commerce Ministry Sunday, invokes a 2021 "blocking statute" that prohibits firms from complying with foreign sanctions deemed illegitimate. The order applies to several Chinese refiners accused by the U.S. of purchasing Iranian crude, including major independent processors known as "teapot" refineries.
