Xi Closes Out US Visit After Talks with Trump on Trade, Taiwan and AI

Xi and Trump said the two countries reached common ground on several issues despite deep differences over trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan.

  • Chinese President Xi Jinping is wrapping up his visit to Washington on Friday following high-stakes talks with President Donald Trump, who hosted a state dinner the night before marking the leader's first visit in over a decade.
  • Trump emphasized cooperation between the two countries, noting that China's "great rejuvenation" and his "Make America Great Again" promise can coexist while acknowledging the nations represent different systems.
  • Despite deep differences on trade, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan, Xi noted the two sides reached a "common understanding on many issues," though major disagreements persist between Washington and Beijing.
  • Xi warned against the "Thucydides trap," the idea that a rising power challenging an established one leads to war, arguing that conflict between the two nations is not inevitable.
  • Following the talks, Xi and his wife are scheduled to join Trump and Melania Trump for private tea Friday, then tour the National Archives before heading home to China.
