US-China talks on trade, AI between Trump, Xi beckon
The presidents of the world's two largest economies are in Washington for what Donald Trump has billed a "big day." Bilateral trade, AI and geopolitics are all on the menu, as the UN General Assembly convenes nearby.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to engage in talks during Xi's state visit to the United States. The summit is expected to cover a range of topics, including trade, artificial intelligence, and the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine. The two leaders will also discuss the sensitive issue of Taiwan, a matter Washington prefers to sidestep, while Trump may maintain the country's export controls.
In a gesture of respect, Trump welcomed Xi at Joint Base Andrews, a gesture uncommon with foreign dignitaries. The visit includes a state dinner where various US tech executives are expected to attend, indicating artificial intelligence will be a major topic of conversation. President Xi has called for partnership between the US and China, emphasizing their intertwined interests.
