Trump's pursuit of meeting with Chinese leader reveals the complex web of US-China relations

WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, AUG 6 – Trump aims to negotiate a trade deal with Xi Jinping despite concerns about concessions affecting U.S. export controls and Taiwan policy, experts warn of risks in talks.

  • Citing national security, the White House announced it would restrict sales of Nvidia’s H20 computer chips to China, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the interagency process ensures “nothing that’s being exchanged for anything.”
  • Rep. Gregory Meeks said, `President Trump is giving away the farm to Xi just so he can save face and reach a nonsensical trade deal with Beijing that will hurt American families economically.`
  • It’s widely believed the leaders must meet in fall to finalize a trade deal, and Craig Singleton warned Trump may ease controls to preserve summit prospects.
