A bevy of top tech and industry leaders are on the guest list for the dinner. President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House for a lavish state dinner Thursday evening, capping a day of both pomp and circumstance and meetings during the high-stakes visit. Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan are the guests of honor as Trump and first lady Melania Trump host the Chinese delegation in the East Room, where both leaders are expected to deliver remarks. Guests scheduled to attend the state dinner include tech executives such as Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla and SpaceX leader Elon Musk, Meta's Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai of Google and Michael Dell, the CEO of Dell Technologies, the White House and a source familiar told ABC News. Also on the guest list are Nvidia's Jensen Huang, OpenAI's Sam Altman, Jane Fraser, the CEO of Citigroup, and Tim Cook, who recently stepped down as the CEO of Apple. On Friday, Xi and his wife are scheduled to join Trump and the first lady for a private tea and a tour of the National Archives to view historical national documents. Xi is expected to depart the U.S. later Friday. The state dinner comes after the two leaders met for about 90 minutes behind closed doors earlier Thursday.
