President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in Beijing this week for a high-stakes summit focused on tariffs, AI, Taiwan, Iran, trade deals, and critical minerals as both countries attempt to stabilize relations between the world’s two largest economies.
Major topics are expected to include extending the recent trade truce, easing export restrictions, and securing new commercial agreements involving agriculture, energy, manufacturing, and potentially Boeing aircraft orders. The U.S. is also expected to pressure China over its economic ties with Iran and concerns surrounding energy security and sanctions enforcement.
Artificial intelligence and semiconductor restrictions will play a central role, with Washington raising concerns about China’s AI development and access to advanced chips, while Beijing continues opposing U.S. export controls on companies like Nvidia.
Rare earth minerals and supply chain security are also expected to be key negotiation
