President Donald Trump’s attendance at the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Shenzhen on November 18–19 has been confirmed by the White House, with a bilateral meeting and working lunch with Xi Jinping plus a trilateral session involving Vladimir Putin scheduled. Trader consensus assigns the highest implied probability to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent joining the official delegation, reflecting standard inclusion of senior economic officials for trade and financial discussions. Elon Musk is expected to accompany Trump for portions of the trip owing to his China business interests, though he is not part of the formal delegation. Other cabinet figures such as Secretary of State Marco Rubio also carry elevated probabilities. Recent reports indicate additional U.S. business leaders may attend the parallel CEO Summit but remain outside the core delegation, while Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang’s participation faces uncertainty amid ongoing scrutiny. The short timeline before the summit leaves limited room for last-minute alterations.
