Trump and Xi to meet at White House on tariffs, Taiwan, Iran and AI

invezz.com (Dutch)

President Trump will host Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House next week for their second meeting this year, aiming to stabilize a relationship strained by trade disputes, Taiwan and Iran tensions, and AI rivalry. Xi's visit, expected on September 24, marks his first White House trip in a decade and the first Chinese state visit to the US since 2015. The summit comes as Trump faces political pressure from the Iran war, rising prices, and declining popularity ahead of November's midterm elections. Key agenda items include extending a tariff truce expiring November 10, potential agricultural and Boeing deals, and discussions on technology restrictions and rare earth minerals. Taiwan remains the most sensitive issue, while Trump will likely seek China's influence over Iran. AI executives plan to attend the state dinner.
