Xi Jinping to visit US for talks with Trump this week
Chinese leader Xi Jinping will visit the United States from Wednesday to Friday for talks with President Donald Trump, Beijing confirmed Monday, aiming to strengthen "strategic stability" between the world's two largest economies. Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said the leaders would exchange views on China-US relations and world peace, with Beijing seeking to manage differences. Trump will welcome Xi at Joint Base Andrews, with trade disputes, artificial intelligence, and Trump's Middle East war on the agenda. Vice Premier He Lifeng is in Washington for trade talks, while both sides discussed an AI notification mechanism. Analysts expect limited outcomes, with a truce likely, as tensions persist over Taiwan and US sanctions on Iran.
