US and China Hold Final Tariff Talks Ahead of Xi-Trump Summit
Top US and Chinese negotiators are set to hold final preparatory talks in Washington from September 19 to 23, focusing on tariffs and economic issues ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's expected visit to the US for a summit with President Donald Trump. The discussions follow a consensus reached by the two leaders and occur amid new US sanctions targeting countries buying Russian oil and gas. Xi's visit, not yet officially announced by Beijing, is expected on September 23, with Trump planning a rare airport reception. Talks will also cover artificial intelligence and reciprocal tariff reductions.
