  "account": "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has urged the United States and China to overcome challenges in their relationship ahead of a potential summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The minister met with U.S. Ambassador to China David Perdue on Wednesday, urging both nations to focus on positive actions, manage their differences, remove interference, and eliminate obstacles to high-level exchanges. Wang acknowledged that China-U.S. relations continue to face various risks and challenges. In May, Trump and Xi met in Beijing and pledged to maintain a stable relationship and maintain the fragile trade truce. Since then, the two countries have taken targeted economic actions, such as the U.S. banning Chinese-made robots and China banning American entities from engaging in trade and other activities within China. The exact date of Xi's visit to the U.S. has not been confirmed, but the summit is expected to take place on September 24.",
