Thanks to the Pulitzer judges for naming @business a finalist in National Reporting for a series of stories about the Trump family’s crypto businesses and the conflicts they pose. Grateful to have worked with @ZekeFaux, @zachmider, @maxabelson, @a_cormier_, @MuyaoShen and others.

my unsolicited advice for the Trump-Xi summit: skip the formal dinner, hit up a Beijing breakfast spot. 糖油饼 豆浆 包子 - no trade war survives a good baozi and an irresponsible amount of brown sugar #TrumpXiSummit#TrumpInChina
