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.

Spain’s Bizum heads to the high street to take on Visa and Mastercard.

Spain’s payment app is making its biggest move yet, bringing account-to-account payments to the physical till and raising the stakes for US card giants.

What started as an interoperability experiment between Spanish banks has quietly become an ecosystem that has Brussels and New York paying close attention.

Europe seeks its own digital-payment systems to bypass US giants Visa and Mastercard.

Visa and Mastercard are global card systems that intermediate payments between a cardholder’s bank and a merchant’s bank. They process over half of all card payments in Europe.

The European Central Bank has been warning for some time that dependence on foreign card networks exposes Europe to political pressure or sudden disruptions.

Why is Europe’s break from Visa and Mastercard facing resistance?

A digital euro, a push for sovereignty from US payment giants and a bitter fight between banks and Brussels are all coming to a head — and the outcome could affect how Europeans conduct even the simplest day-to-day payments.

The digital euro could arrive by 2029 — but a bitter battle between Brussels and the banks stands in the way.

OEA y Mastercard firman acuerdo contra cibercrimen en Américas

Empresas como Mastercard son socios esenciales para asegurar los sistemas financieros y generar confianza en el comercio digital”, agregó el Secretario Marques, quien firmó el Memorando de Entendimiento en representación del Secretario General de la OEA, Albert R. Ramdin.

Por José Víctor Rodríguez | Reportero                                                        

La Organización de los Estados Americanos (OEA) y la empresa Mastercard firmaron hoy un acuerdo para trabajar juntos para mejorar la resiliencia cibernética en las Américas, durante una ceremonia realizada en la sede de la institución hemisférica en Washington, DC.

El Secretario de Seguridad Multidimensional de la OEA, Ivan Marques, resaltó cómo el cibercrimen, el ransomware y los ataques contra infraestructuras críticas están creciendo en escala y sofisticación, afectando a gobiernos, empresas y ciudadanos por igual. “Abordar estos desafíos requiere más que la acción gubernamental por sí sola.

El sector privado se encuentra a la vanguardia de la innovación y la experiencia en ciberseguridad. Empresas como Mastercard son socios esenciales para asegurar los sistemas financieros y generar confianza en el comercio digital”, agregó el Secretario Marques, quien firmó el Memorando de Entendimiento en representación del Secretario General de la OEA, Albert R. Ramdin. –sn–

I was at a #gas station to fill my car because I'm expecting gas price to keep going up

It's expensive. I paid 1,97 per L

But I also noticed this little banner on the pump saying "We prefer Debit/Interac" in french.

Of course, Canadian merchants prefer #interac. It's #visa and #mastercard that have higher fees

This hidden tax is obviously passed to consumers on every product. Maybe everything would be cheaper without it

I'm excited for the launch of #RTR in #canada and see what happens

I'm excited for the launch of #RTR in #canada and see what happens

In 2026 or early 2027, #canada should launch Real-Time Rail (#rtr)

That's basically a new modernised payment system that I hope will:

- Cut out middlemen like #visa and #mastercard
- Replace the outdated #interac

RTR should be faster and work online.

Can't wait for it!
