It has become known who is predicted to play the role of trade mediator between Washington and Beijing.
If Donald Trump wins the election, businessman Elon Musk, who supports him, could help with this.
This point of view was voiced to the Bloomberg portal by experts who analyzed the current political situation in the United States.
It is noted that Trump himself previously announced the appointment of his closest associates, Musk and Kennedy Jr., to influential positions in his administration if he wins the election.
For example, former Pentagon employee Derek Scissors said that Elon Musk enjoys special favor with China. Through him, the Beijing authorities may try to exert their influence on the Trump administration if the latter wins.
Since half of all Tesla cars are made in China, Musk has a different approach to business in China than Trump's inner circle. That's why Beijing is of particular interest to the billionaire.
