President Donald Trump is scheduled to host Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington for a significant state visit focused on trade, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals. This marks Xi's first visit to the White House in a decade and the leaders' second meeting of the year. The summit will likely discuss Taiwan, technology, and trade, with no expectations of major breakthroughs.
Critical minerals have become a key bargaining chip in US-China relations, with Washington seeking Beijing's cooperation on easing rare-earth export restrictions while China aims to maintain dominance in processing and manufacturing essential materials for US technology and defense industries. The visit comes as the US and China navigate the war in Iran, with Trump urging China to reduce its oil purchases from Tehran. Senior US officials predict the leaders will discuss trade, rare earths, and AI during the summit.
