Trump vs China | Why Trump Took 18 CEOs To China | The Blueprint

On May 13, 2026, a Boeing 747 landed in Beijing carrying not just the President of the United States, but the leaders of companies worth over $16 trillion combined. From Apple, Nvidia, Tesla, Boeing, Visa, Mastercard, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, Cisco, Qualcomm, Micron, GE Aerospace, and many more, this wasn't an ordinary diplomatic visit. But what was the real objective? Was it about reducing the U.S.–China trade deficit? Securing billion-dollar business deals? Winning the AI and semiconductor race?
