Claim 1: “Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg is expected to join President Donald Trump on his visit to China next week”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms that Kelly Ortberg is the CEO of Boeing and that Donald Trump is planning a visit to China. However, there is no specific evidence in the provided results explicitly stating that Ortberg is 'expected to join' or 'accompany' Trump on this specific trip; the sources discuss them in separate contexts (Trump's visit and Ortberg's leadership).
