The spokeswoman said Eric, who manages his father’s business empire, would go in a personal capacity.
“Eric and Lara Trump are proud to accompany the president on his state visit,” said the Trump Organization spokeswoman, Kimberly Benza.
“Eric is deeply proud of his father and the accomplishments of this term and is attending in a personal capacity as a supportive son.”
“He does not have business ventures in China nor plans on doing business in China and will not be participating in private meetings but will instead stand alongside the president to mark this historic occasion,” Benza added.
