Trump, Melania to host Xi and Peng for White House ‘double date’: full schedule

In the coming week, Donald Trump and Melania Trump will extend a warm welcome to Xi Jinping and Peng Liyuan at the White House, followed by a state dinner where both presidents will speak. This will be succeeded by a private tea and a tour of the National Archives, where the founding documents of the United States are housed. Senior US officials have outlined the detailed agenda, revealing that artificial intelligence, the Busan trade truce set to expire in November, rare earths, fentanyl, and detained foreigners will be among the key topics of discussion.

The briefing confirms the South China Morning Post's earlier reports, indicating that AI will be incorporated into the pre-summit economic talks, while the Busan trade truce and tariff talks will be central to the agenda. The two leaders will engage in bilateral talks, with Peng Liyuan participating in a separate program alongside Melania Trump.

On the following day, Friday, September 25, the Trumps will host a private tea for the Chinese delegation, followed by a tour of the National Archives. After this, Xi Jinping will leave for Washington, marking the end of the state visit.
