  "account": "General Motors CEO Mary Barra is set to attend US President Donald Trump's state dinner at the White House for Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday, according to two sources familiar with the event. This comes as US automakers express concern over potential Chinese manufacturers entering the market, despite indications from Trump that he may be willing to consider it. Mary Barra will not be accompanied by Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who is currently abroad, two sources reported. Ford has not yet commented on whether CEO Jim Farley will join the dinner. The automaker has faced criticism from US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy over its business ties with Chinese companies. The White House has not yet provided a comment on the matter.",
