Trump and Xi Meet in Washington to Discuss Trade Truce and Strategic Rivalry

Trump and Xi Meet in Washington to Discuss Trade Truce and Strategic RivalryPreviousNext

Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to meet US President Donald Trump in Washington on September 24 to discuss extending a trade truce established last year amid ongoing strategic rivalry. Despite tensions over tariffs, Taiwan, and technology, both leaders aim to manage competition through diplomacy. China's trade surplus remains strong, bolstering Xi's position, while Trump faces domestic challenges including declining approval and the costly Iran conflict. Preparations include talks on artificial intelligence and trade in non-sensitive goods, with broader geopolitical implications for global stability and regional actors like India.
