Trump, Xi to Huddle in China as AI Race Heats Up
The leaders are expected to pursue a trade truce and discuss soybean purchases, Boeing sales and pressure on Iran as tensions over tariffs and rare earths persist.
- On Wednesday, United States President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping to address trade, the conflict in Iran, Taiwan, and artificial intelligence competition.
- The trip marks the leaders' first face-to-face talks in six months as both sides manage a fragile economic truce strained by US tariffs, rare earth export controls, and the ongoing Iran conflict.
- Trump brought more than a dozen business executives, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook, while officials plan to establish communication channels for artificial intelligence developments.
- While negotiators focus on trade, officials expect Trump to press Beijing to use its influence with Tehran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz; Taiwan remains an enduring fault line in bilateral relations.
- Analysts suggest the summit will likely point toward "managed competition" rather than fundamental transformation, as both nations recognize that a return to previous eras of engagement is no longer possible.
