Trump's state dinner for Xi to feature sea bass and a long list of tech titans
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A tech-heavy guest list, the fashion choices of those on it, who sits where, their body language throughout the night and what's on
The upcoming state dinner at the White House on Thursday represents the softer, more glamorous aspects of diplomacy between President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping. While the leaders may have engaged in more serious discussions about Taiwan, trade, and artificial intelligence during the formal business hours, the dinner itself will draw attention to the finer details of the evening.
The menu will feature a wide array of culinary delights, including sesame-crusted sea bass, vanilla cremeux, and ice cream with honey. Notable attendees include tech industry giants such as Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Tesla and SpaceX's Elon Musk, Google's Sundar Pichai, OpenAI's Greg Brockman, and Dell Technologies' Michael Dell. The dinner aims to convey a sense of warmth and a close personal connection between the two leaders, as Edgard Kagan, a senior adviser and chair in China studies, noted.
