      Then why is Jensen Huang (Nvidia) on the adjoining photo? He’s not in that group at all. LOL

      It’s ok for US to trade with China, but other countries like Canada can’t. Trump is such a hypocrite.

      I like the slowly decreasing familiarity in the title. Full name, company and last name, company.

      It’s cause Donnie is so fucking dumb he thinks that bringing these two will make him seem Intelligent. “Cuz wich people is smawt.”

      Really appreciate how out in the open the connection between politics and business is. Good job everyone you did it question mark.

      Trump’s bringing his posse of crutches because he’s a royal p*ssy and knows he’s totally outmatched vs. Xi if it’s just one on one. Let me guess… he’ll depart China saying China will now buy $10 Trillion of corn and soybeans from American farmers. Blah..blah..blah…bullsh*t.

      So tired of including random billionaires in political affairs. This shit should be unequivocally illegal from top to bottom. Dude is literally taking oligarchs with him on his field trip.

      China… baby.. hey how ya doin love ya food, do me a favor.. lock them up. It would be hilarious.

      Government is the only thing that can protect us from corporate Greed and abuse. They are supposed to work for us. This government is compromised

    26. MRSHELBYPLZ on

      Why the CEO of Nvidia on the picture and he’s not involved in this at all?

    27. Orposer on

      Let’s piss off everyone and tell them what to do. Then go beg them to trade with us! This 5D chess from a man who shits himself.

      >Elon Musk, Apple’s (AAPL.O), opens new tab Tim Cook, GE ‌Aerospace’s Larry Culp and Boeing’s (BA.N), opens new tab Kelly Ortberg will join U.S. President Donald Trump on his visit to China this week, a White House official told Reuters.

      Others taking part include Meta’s Dina Powell McCormick, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, Micron’s Sanjay Mehrotra, Mastercard’s Michael Miebach, Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon and Visa’s Ryan ​McInerney, the official said. Cisco CEO Chuck Robbins was invited by the White House to join the China trip but ​was unable to attend as the company’s earnings will be released this week, a company spokesperson said.

      (my assumptions after the comma)

      * Tesla, Elon Musk: for the Tesla giga factory, and probably the Full self driving enablement
      * Apple, Tim Cook: for the iphone factories of course
      * ge Aerospace Larry Culp :for the GE engines for the plane order
      * Boeing Kelly Ortberg: for the 500 Boeing plane order
      * Black rock ,Larry Fink: probably for panama port deal, and general investment into china’s financial sector
      * Meta Dina, Powell McCormick: mhmm maybe because of the Manus deal?
      * Stephen Schwarzman blackstone: also just investment into china’s financial sector
      * Sanjay Mehrota micron, probably for the existing xi’an memory factories
      * Mastercard’s Michael Miebach, Visa’s Ryan ​McInerney: I assume for more credit card opportunities in china?
      * Qualcomm’s Cristiano Amon: for the 5g chips for EV cars and for phones

      Honestly biggest shock is that Micron’s Sanjay Mehrotra is going when he is openly calling for china’s DUV machines to be shutdown (he’s pushing for the match act)

      wouldn’t it be funny if they were all on the same airplane and it crashed in the Pacific.

      Trump is basically going to sell Taiwan out as long as China doesn’t disrupt the chip manufacturing of Apple and Boeing..

    34. Sargent_Duck85 on

      I hope China tells them all to get bent.

      It’s weird, but this past year have seen me cheering for Iran and China. And they’re NOT the good guys.

    35. Mysterious-Prompt212 on

      If only there was a Trans Pacific Partnership or something. Oh that’s right Tramp shit all over it.

    39. Chicagoj1563 on

      Whatever he’s doing, it’s likely related to making him money or doing something malicious to citizens.

    40. Lootthatbody on

      Ok, as soon as they leave, we change the locks, turn off the lights, and pretend we aren’t home.

    41. PratzStrike on

      On a Boeing jet? This has the opportunity to be one of the funniest things ever.

    43. craignumPI on

      Cause they were totally voted in..just like Trum…..oh wait. China is laughing

    45. b3iAAoLZOH9Y265cujFh on

      I can see why Cook is going. Apple is doing business in the country, but Musk? It’s not like Tesla is ever going to mean much in China. Maybe he’s looking to strike up a import deal on Ketamine precursors, or he’s just there to keep El Presidente in a good mood. On his knees.

    46. sunnyspiders on

      Well wouldn’t THAT be a shame.

      Everyone on one plane seems like a risk.

    49. Moral-Relativity on

      Why use picture of John Nvidia when article specifically says he’s “not in attendance?”
