00:00President Trump leaves for his big China summit today, and he's bringing along quite the entourage.
00:05Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink are just a few of the bold-faced names
00:09joining the president for his much-anticipated meeting with President Xi Jinping.
00:14A big goal for the trip is to fix the U.S.-China trade imbalance by convincing China to
00:18invest more heavily in the U.S. by placing large orders for things like planes, soybeans,
00:24and other goods. Another key point of the discussion between the world leaders is AI.
00:28To that end, there are some notable CEOs missing from the travel list.
00:33NVIDIA's chief won't be there, and Cisco boss Chuck Robbins was invited but is skipping the trip
00:38due to his company's quarterly earnings release, which, as excuses go, is a pretty good one.
00:43Another huge talking point for the trip is Taiwan. Now, Trump was asked about that on Monday,
00:49comparing it to Russia and Ukraine, and suggested that China would never attack Taiwan while he's
00:54president.
00:54If you have the right president, I don't think it'll happen. I think we'll be fine. I have
00:58a very good relationship with President Xi, so I don't want that to happen. Very far away.
01:05Very, very far away. We're just at 9,500 miles. We're 9,500 miles. He's 67 miles. It's a little
01:16bit of a difference.
