WH Releases List of Oligarchs on Trump China Trip

Trump will be joined in China this week by 16 chief executives, including Elon Musk and Tim Cook. The White House distributed a list on Monday of business leaders who are scheduled to be in Beijing with the president. Mr. Trump is slated to depart Washington on Tuesday and hold meetings with Xi Jinping, China's leader, later in the week. U.S. officials have said Mr. Trump wants to discuss the creation of a board of investment and a board of trade with China, and the delegation includes business leaders across a wide range of industries

"After the White House sent out its list, Cisco said its chief executive, Chuck Robbins, was unable to attend ... .Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, wasn't invited and won't be going to China this week, according to a person familiar with Mr. Huang's plans. His absence comes as Nvidia, the world's most valuable company, awaits approval from both China and the United States to begin shipping an early model of the company's A.I. chips, the H200, to China."
