President Donald Trump's Air Force One made a refueling stop in Anchorage, Alaska, en route to Beijing. The stop, while routine for operational reasons, also facilitated the boarding of key business leaders for the delegation.

• The Boeing VC-25A aircraft, Air Force One, requires stops due to its range limitations, especially on long-haul international flights carrying significant weight.
• Notable business leaders including Elon Musk and Jensen Huang joined the presidential aircraft during the Alaska stop.
• Beyond refueling, the stop allowed for aircraft inspection, secure supply loading, crew rotation, and the addition of more delegation members.
