President Donald Trump is expected to be accompanied by several leading American business figures, including Elon Musk and Tim Cook, during his upcoming visit to China, according to a Monday report by Bloomberg News citing a White House official.

Also slated to be part of the delegation are David Solomon, Stephen Schwarzman, Larry Fink, Jane Fraser, and Dina Powell McCormick, among more than a dozen high-ranking corporate leaders expected to participate in meetings alongside Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

The trip is being framed as an effort to secure a range of commercial agreements and investment deals between the United States and China, with the presence of top executives intended to facilitate negotiations and strengthen economic ties, the report said.

The companies involved did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Reuters.

Chinese officials have confirmed that Trump’s state visit is scheduled to take place from May 13 through May 15, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
