Trump signals push for Xi to open China to U.S. business on Air Force One visit
President Donald Trump made multiple posts on Truth Social in the last hour: - "RT @realDonaldTrumpCNBC incorrectly reported that the Great Jensen Huang, of Nvidia, was not invited to the incredible gathering of the World's Greatest Businessmen/women proudly going to China. In actuality, Jensen is currently on Air Force One and, unless I ask him to leave, which is highly unlikely, CNBC's reporting is incorrect or, as they say in politics, FAKE NEWS!
It is an Honor to have Jensen, Elon, Tim Apple, Larry Fink, Stephen Schwarzmann, Kelly Ortberg (Boeing), Brian Sikes (Cargill), Jane Fraser (Citi), Larry Culp (GE Aerospace), David Solomon (Goldman Sachs), Sanjay Mehrotra (Micron), Cristiano Amon (Qualcomm), and many others journeying to the Great Country of China where I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to "open up" China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People's Republic to an even higher level! In fact, I promise, that when we are together, which will be in a matter of hours, I will make that my very first request.
I have never seen or heard of any idea that would be more beneficial to our incredible Countries!" - "The guy that came up to Mitch McConnell today when McConnell thought the hearing was over, and started speaking in his ear for Mitch to belatedly introduce some other people, all Democrats and, by doing so, made Mitch look foolish and completely out of it, should be immediately fired! This was a case where Mitch wasn't confused, he just didn't understand why he was being asked to do something when it was too late, and people were wrapping up to leave, They wanted to go home.
His name is Robert Karem, he is a Never Trumper, and was grandstanding, trying to show how "important" he was! Karem has tremendous Democrat support, far greater than he should have, and is praised relentlessly by Obama's people.
He is probably the reason why Mitch McConnell is stupidly opposed to terminating the Filibuster, and refuses to help with a 97% issue, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.

This is a direct signal that Trump is using a high-profile business delegation and the Air Force One setting to press Xi for market access, not just ceremonial engagement. The wording suggests an immediate ask for China to relax restrictions and improve conditions for U.S. firms, especially in technology, finance, aerospace, and industrial supply chains.
That matters because any real opening, or even the perception of one, can move trade expectations, chip and tech-export risk, corporate China strategy, and broader U.S.-China negotiation dynamics. Historically, U.S.-China talks have often paired political diplomacy with business access promises, while tensions over tariffs, export controls, and market barriers have repeatedly limited outcomes.
Trump's public framing echoes his earlier transactional approach to China, making the post important as a market and policy signal, not just rhetoric. It raises the odds that Washington will seek a headline economic concession from Beijing, but it also carries risk if the meeting produces little beyond optics, because that can sharpen expectations for sanctions relief, supply-chain access, or follow-on bargaining without guaranteeing any policy change.
