The New Republic | Trump’s China Entourage Shows Just How Blatant His Corruption Is by Edith Olmsted
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
President Donald Trump flew to China accompanied by his son Eric, daughter‑in‑law Lara, and a roster of more than a dozen top American CEOs—including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—who hope the summit with President Xi will secure business favors; critics say the trip exemplifies blatant corruption, noting Eric Trump’s lucrative real‑estate deals and the Trump Organization’s past $5.5 million Chinese spending, while other reports from the same day detail Trump’s dismissive remarks that Americans’ financial hardships “don’t even a little bit” motivate his Iran‑war negotiations, the contentious Senate hearing where FBI Director Kash Patel clashed over alleged drinking problems, an ICE raid that mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen despite his Real ID, and a proposed $1 billion White House ballroom project that would siphon taxpayer money into extensive security upgrades.

Observer | 16 Business Leaders to Join Trump on High-Stakes China Trip, With Notable Absences by Rachel Curry
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
President Donald Trump is set to travel to Beijing for a two‑day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, accompanied by a delegation of 16 top U.S. executives from technology, finance and manufacturing, including Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and CEOs of Qualcomm, Micron, Boeing, Goldman Sachs and others. The visit comes amid heightened U.S.–China tensions over trade, AI, semiconductor exports, Taiwan, fentanyl trafficking and the broader geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, and signals the growing role of corporate America in diplomatic negotiations as firms seek to secure supply‑chain stability and market access. Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.

bing news | Oil at $150 would trigger global recession, says boss of financial giant BlackRock
Larry Fink, the chief executive of BlackRock, warned that if oil price climbs to around $150 a barrel it would trigger a global recession, especially if Iran remains a threat to the market. He outlined two possible outcomes of the Middle‑East conflict: a settlement that brings oil back below pre‑war levels, or a prolonged period of $100‑plus oil that would “have profound implications” and likely usher in a “stark and steep recession.” Fink urged governments to be pragmatic about their energy mix, using all available sources while accelerating the shift to cheaper, renewable power to sustain growth and living standards.
When asked about the risk of a repeat of the 2007‑08 financial crisis, Fink said the current financial system is far more resilient and he sees “zero similarities.” Although some investors have pulled back from private‑credit funds, he believes those issues represent only a tiny slice of the market and institutional investment remains robust. He also dismissed talk of an artificial‑intelligence bubble, insisting that while there may be occasional failures, the sector is not over‑hyped and is essential for future competitiveness.
Fink highlighted that the AI boom will reshape the labour market, creating huge demand for skilled trades such as electricians, plumbers and welders, while reducing some traditional office roles. He argued that decades of emphasising university degrees have left a shortage of technical expertise, and societies should re‑balance education to value hands‑on careers equally. In his view, cheap, reliable energy is a prerequisite for AI development, and nations must invest in both renewable power and technical training to ensure inclusive, sustainable growth.

bing news | AI boom risks widening wealth divide, says BlackRock’s Larry Fink
Larry Fink, chief executive of BlackRock, warned in his annual letter to investors that the rapid expansion of artificial‑intelligence technology could intensify the existing wealth gap. He noted that, as with past transformative innovations, the majority of the new value tends to flow to those who already own financial assets, and that AI “threatens to repeat that pattern at an even larger scale.” The CEO stressed that while the creation of economic value is inevitable, the critical question is who actually participates in those gains.
Fink highlighted that firms possessing massive data sets, robust infrastructure and ample funding to deploy AI at scale—such as chip‑maker Nvidia, now valued at over $4 trillion—are poised to reap disproportionate benefits. This concentration of advantage, he argued, could widen the gulf between rich and poor, especially as AI becomes a central element of strategic competition between global powers. He also flagged growing worries about an AI investment bubble, noting recent central‑bank cautions and heightened scrutiny of multibillion‑dollar deals that could expose the sector to correction.
Rather than presenting a concrete policy fix, Fink urged a broader shift of wealth creation into capital markets. He suggested that more individuals should invest in stocks instead of relying solely on home ownership, which has become less affordable due to rising prices, stricter lending, and high ongoing costs. By bringing a larger share of the population into the financial markets, Fink believes people can share in the growth generated by AI, helping to mitigate the sense that prosperity is drifting away from ordinary citizens.

yahoo news | BlackRock’s Larry Fink warns against market timing, says missing best days can halve returns
Larry Fink, chairman and CEO of BlackRock, used his annual chairman’s letter to caution investors against trying to time the market. He argued that staying invested through periods of turmoil has historically produced far stronger returns than attempting to pick entry and exit points, noting that “over time, staying invested has mattered far more than getting the timing right.” The warning comes as the world’s largest asset manager, with $14 trillion in assets under management at the end of 2025, observes markets increasingly driven by rapid sentiment shifts tied to geopolitics, inflation and technological disruption.
Fink illustrated his point with the performance of the S&P 500 over the past two decades: every dollar invested grew more than eightfold, yet an investor who missed just the ten best days in that span would have earned less than half as much. He highlighted recent market rallies—such as the sharp uptick after President Donald Trump announced talks with Iran and a pause in strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure—as examples of how headline news can distract investors from the underlying long‑term drivers. He warned that the “old model of global capitalism is fracturing,” with countries scrambling for self‑reliance in energy, defense and technology, reinforcing the importance of a patient, long‑term investment approach.
Finally, Fink warned that the rapid rise of artificial intelligence could exacerbate wealth inequality. He noted that the massive wealth created over recent generations has largely flowed to those who already own financial assets, and that AI threatens to repeat—and intensify—that pattern. AI‑linked companies have powered a significant share of recent equity market gains, concentrating returns among a relatively small group of firms and shareholders. Fink’s message underscores both the risks of market timing and the broader socioeconomic implications of emerging technologies for investors.

yahoo news | VIJAY JAYARAJ: BlackRock CEO Abandons Climate Delusion For Investor Needs
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink announced a turn toward “energy pragmatism,” saying that investors now demand a balanced approach to power generation rather than strict adherence to climate‑centric mandates. As the world’s largest asset manager—over $10 trillion under its control—BlackRock’s investment choices shape markets, corporate strategies, and even government policies. Fink highlighted China’s simultaneous expansion of nuclear and solar capacity while importing record volumes of oil and gas, using this example to argue that “society has moved into a better position of having more pragmatism.” The shift follows a reported $4 billion loss in ESG‑linked assets in 2023, divestments by states such as Florida, and BlackRock’s abandonment of the “weaponized” ESG label and exit from the Net Zero Asset Managers group in early‑2025.
The reversal is rooted in client pressure and fiduciary duty. After years of deploying capital to advance ESG and “woke” initiatives—often at the behest of left‑leaning public pension managers—BlackRock faced lawsuits, antitrust scrutiny, and billions of dollars in outflows as state governments pulled funding. Fink now frames his pragmatism as a response to those investors, asserting that the firm must prioritize returns over ideological climate goals. He argues that the climate alarmist narrative has overstated risks, noting that extreme‑weather events have not increased in line with CO₂ emission claims, and points to the intermittency and higher costs of wind and solar as evidence that renewable‑only grids are unreliable for modern economies.
Fink’s stance reflects broader global energy realities. While renewables grow, they account for only a fraction of rising electricity demand, and nations such as China and India continue to expand nuclear, coal, and natural‑gas capacity to sustain industrial growth. Europe’s experience after the 2022 energy crisis—where reliance on wind, solar, and reduced Russian gas led to factory shutdowns and strained household budgets—underscores the need for a diversified mix that includes fossil fuels and nuclear power. The article concludes that the long‑standing push to replace high‑density, reliable energy sources with low‑density, weather‑dependent alternatives has proven mathematically untenable, and that BlackRock’s new direction signals a broader industry acknowledgment that investor needs and pragmatic energy policy must take precedence over climate‑centric dogma.
