Trump to host Xi amid pomp, low expectations
Experts say the two leaders are likely to extend a relative truce rather than reach any concrete agreements amid a looming trade war and tensions over Taiwan.
President Donald Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Wednesday, with both leaders expected to emphasize the ceremonial aspects of their upcoming meetings. The US military honor guard and a new helipad at the White House have been prepared for the visit. However, experts anticipate that the summit will not yield any significant results, as tensions between the two superpowers loom large.
China and the United States are engaged in a race for technological supremacy, particularly in artificial intelligence, while also facing concerns over the Iran conflict and the simmering trade war. The two leaders' discussions may focus on managing tensions and extending a relative truce.
