The Trump administration has reportedly invited executives from some of America’s largest corporations to join President Donald Trump on his upcoming trip to China next week, according to a Semafor report. The visit is expected to focus heavily on U.S.-China trade relations, investment opportunities, and major business agreements.
Among the companies said to be included on the invitation list are Nvidia, Apple, ExxonMobil, Boeing, Qualcomm, Blackstone, Citigroup, and Visa. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser received an invitation, while Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon is expected to attend if the trip proceeds as scheduled.
Reuters could not independently verify the complete list of invited companies, but multiple sources said several CEOs received invitations on Wednesday evening. The White House and several companies, including Apple, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, and Visa, declined to comment on the report. Boeing and Blackstone also chose not to provide statements.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed the speculation during an interview with CNBC’s Jim Cramer, saying he would be honored to represent the United States if invited. Huang added that any official announcement should come directly from President Trump.
The planned Beijing visit has fueled expectations of new economic agreements between the United States and China, especially involving major American corporations seeking expanded access to the Chinese market. One of the most closely watched developments involves Boeing, which has been negotiating a potential aircraft deal with China for years.
Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told Reuters in April that the company hoped the Trump administration could help finalize a long-anticipated order from China. Industry sources believe the agreement could include approximately 500 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft along with dozens of widebody jets. If completed, the deal would mark China’s first major Boeing purchase since 2017 and could become a significant outcome of the Trump-Xi summit.
