Xi Jinping arrives in Washington for talks with Trump

g1.globo.com (Portuguese) —

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington on Wednesday for a meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, who received him at Joint Base Andrews. No formal talks are scheduled for Wednesday. The leaders will hold discussions at the White House on Thursday, with Xi returning to Beijing on Friday after a tea ceremony hosted by Melania Trump and a visit to the National Archives. Xi is expected to press Trump on suspending arms sales to Taiwan, citing a 1982 joint declaration. Artificial intelligence competition is also a key agenda item, with both nations advancing despite warnings about uncontrolled AI risks. The U.S. has proposed a notification mechanism for AI incidents affecting national security, while China seeks global AI safety guidelines and criticizes U.S. export restrictions on AI chips.
