NEW YORK, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla plans to attend U.S. President Donald Trump’s state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday evening, according to a source familiar with the matter on Tuesday.
Trump will welcome the Chinese leader at the White House this week for their second meeting this year, as the two leaders seek stability in a relationship under pressure over issues ranging from trade to Taiwan and Iran, as well as global worries about artificial intelligence.
Among the other guests for the dinner will be a number of tech CEOs, including Jeff Bezos of Amazon, Sundar Pichai of Alphabet, Sam Altman of OpenAI, Tim Cook of Apple, Elon Musk of Tesla, Jensen Huang of Nvidia, and Michael Dell of Dell Technologies. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser are also expected to attend.
