Claim: President Trump said other titans of business were at the talks
100%Based on my fact-checking, here is my analysis of the claim:
Analysis:
- President Trump is currently in China for a summit with President Xi Jinping, and he brought a large delegation of business leaders with him12345.
- In a midflight social media post, Trump specifically stated: "It is an Honour 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"5.
- The Palm Beach Post also reported that "Trump said the Wall Street elite, including the chieftains of titans Goldman Sachs, GE Aerospace, Qualcomm, were onboard"1.
- CBS News reported the trip as "Elon Musk, Tim Cook and other business titans joining Trump in China for Xi summit"4.
- Multiple news outlets confirm Trump explicitly stated these business leaders were accompanying him for talks with Xi Jinping35.
