Xi to visit US for talks with Trump on trade and AI
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. The state visit includes meetings on trade disputes, artificial intelligence, and strategic issues such as Trump's war in the Middle East. Trump will welcome Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, with discussions covering "almost everything," according to the US president. Trade tensions remain unresolved despite a year-long tariff truce, while AI safety, US-Iran relations, Taiwan, and rare earth supplies are key topics. Analysts expect limited outcomes, with a short-term truce seen as the best possible result.
