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 will host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House next week, with a state dinner expected to highlight the ceremonial aspects of the visit. Military honor guards have been preparing at the new White House helipad, but questions linger about the potential outcomes of their summit. The discussions will likely focus on the AI apocalypse, trade relations, and the simmering tensions over Iran and Taiwan.
Trump, who has hosted similar events during his own visit to China in May, aims to capitalize on the optics of the occasion, but experts remain skeptical about achieving substantive results.
