3 Key Points

  1. Trump leaves on Tuesday for Beijing to meet with President Xi Jinping. Aside from discussions about Iran, the two leaders are expected to discuss trade and artificial intelligence.

  2. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, led Trump's Department of Government Efficiency until leaving in the spring of 2025 before the agency was shuttered in November. Tesla has operations in China and Musk has visited there.

  3. Tim Cook announced last month that his 15-year reign as CEO of Apple will end on Sept. 1, when he turns CEO duties over to Apple's head of hardware engineering, John Ternus. Cook will remain with the company as executive chairman. During Cook's tenure, Apple's market value soared by more than $3.6 trillion. Cook has managed to minimize tariffs by shifting iPhone production destined for the U.S. market to India and winning exemptions after promising Apple would invest $600 billion in the U.S. during Trump's second administration.
