Pro-Trump senator meets Chinese Premier Li with US executives

BEIJING, Mar 23: U.S. Republican Senator Steve Daines met Chinese Premier Li Qiang in Beijing with a group of seven American executives on Sunday, following an annual business summit in the Chinese capital attended by top foreign CEOs.

Daines was accompanied by Qualcomm (QCOM.O) CEO Cristiano Amon, Pfizer (PFE.N), opens new tab CEO Albert Bourla, Cargill CEO Brian Sikes, Boeing (BA.N) Global Senior Vice President Brendan Nelson, and other executives at Beijing's Great Hall of the People, according to a foreign media pool report.

Daines' trip marks the first time a U.S. politician has visited China since U.S. President Donald Trump took office in January. Beijing is seeking high-level dialogue with the new administration, with hopes of reaching a deal to avert further tariff pressure from Washington.

Daines, a staunch supporter of Trump and member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, was heavily involved in negotiations over U.S.-China trade during Trump's first term, and has made multiple trips to China as a senator.

He lived in Guangzhou and Hong Kong in the 1990s while working as an executive for Proctor & Gamble (PG.N) which he referenced in his opening speech.

"Collectively, these seven companies have over 275 years of experience of doing business in China," Daines said as he introduced the American CEOs, according to a pool transcript. �"REUTERS
