The White House is inviting Tesla’s Elon Musk, Apple’s Tim Cook and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg and executives from other large companies to accompany President Donald Trump on his trip to China this week, according to an official, Bloomberg reported.
Tesla shares rose 2.4% in morning trading.
Goldman Sachs Group’s David Solomon, Blackstone Inc.’s Stephen Schwarzman, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, Citigroup’s Jane Fraser and Meta Platforms’s Dina Powell McCormick are also on the list of those expected to join Trump’s delegation for his summit with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, a White House official said.
