Trump leads delegation of 17 executives to Beijing for trade talks

Donald Trump has arrived in Beijing accompanied by 17 high-profile American executives, including the CEOs of Apple, Tesla, and Nvidia, for a two-day trade summit. The primary goal is to extend an October 2025 trade truce that suspended tariffs and addressed export controls on rare-earth minerals. The delegation is focused on increasing Chinese purchases of American aircraft, energy, and agricultural products while negotiating for fewer restrictions on US chipmaking exports. The summit also explores a potential "Board of Trade" to regulate non-sensitive commerce and touches on broader geopolitical issues like Taiwan and Iran. While cryptocurrency is not on the agenda, investors are closely watching the semiconductor and AI policy outcomes, as these significantly influence the macro-economic environment and hardware costs for digital assets.
