Trump-Xi summit: key issues on the agenda in Washington

President Donald Trump is hosting Chinese leader Xi Jinping for their second summit this year in Washington, with key issues including trade, Taiwan, Iran, and artificial intelligence. Xi arrived Wednesday for his first visit to Washington in over a decade. The leaders are expected to address an extension of the tariff truce agreed in South Korea, now extended to Jan. 10, and potential trade deals involving Boeing aircraft and agricultural purchases. China's rare earth export controls and U.S. technology restrictions are also on the agenda. Trump may face pressure over Taiwan policy, while Washington hopes Xi can influence Iran. Both sides are exploring an AI dialogue and a potential crisis hotline, though analysts expect limited cooperation beyond symbolic agreements.
