'Free market' doesn't mean that the president personally promotes business deals...

Sure, other presidents (like Reagan) have promoted capitalism in and trade with the country, but did they bring an entourage of people with them on diplomatic state visits?

And would they have personally invited a giant US company's CEO to accompany them on the trip?

I wonder what deals are being made. And seems to favor some companies over others.

Nvidia's Huang flew on Air Force One, personally invited by Trump.

Trump posted on social media that he wanted China to "open up" so that the "brilliant" tech and finance people he invited could "work their magic."
