President Donald Trump flew to China accompanied by his son Eric, daughter‑in‑law Lara, and a roster of more than a dozen top American CEOs—including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—who hope the summit with President Xi will secure business favors; critics say the trip exemplifies blatant corruption, noting Eric Trump’s lucrative real‑estate deals and the Trump Organization’s past $5.5 million Chinese spending, while other reports from the same day detail Trump’s dismissive remarks that Americans’ financial hardships “don’t even a little bit” motivate his Iran‑war negotiations, the contentious Senate hearing where FBI Director Kash Patel clashed over alleged drinking problems, an ICE raid that mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen despite his Real ID, and a proposed $1 billion White House ballroom project that would siphon taxpayer money into extensive security upgrades.
