Trump and Xi Set for Tense Washington Summit

usnews.com —

President Donald Trump welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington on Wednesday for a three-day visit, with tensions over trade, technology, and Iran set against a backdrop of elaborate ceremony. Expectations for a breakthrough are slim. The visit includes a state dinner with tech leaders, a military ceremony, and a trip to the National Archives. Talks may yield sector-specific tariff deals, cooperation on drug trafficking, and expanded military dialogue, though disputes over Taiwan and export controls remain. Trump faces domestic challenges from the Iran war and falling approval ratings, while Xi arrives with a stronger trade position. A second meeting is possible later this year at APEC or G20 summits.
