Trump and Xi Meet in Washington for Trade, AI, and Iran Talks
Chinese President Xi Jinping landed at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland near Washington for a summit with US President Donald Trump, who greeted him at the airport with a handshake. Xi's three-day US visit marks their third face-to-face meeting in under a year. The September 24 summit will focus on extending the trade truce agreed in October and expiring in November, as a new tariff war would hit American consumers before elections. Artificial intelligence tops the agenda, with US firms urging a slowdown in the race. The Middle East crisis, including US-Iran tensions affecting energy and oil sectors, will also be discussed. Xi aims to stabilize China's economy and military leadership, while Trump asserts US dominance in AI.
