Trump-Xi summit: trade, AI and Iran expected to top the agenda
The leaders of the United States and China are set for their third in-person meeting in a year, with discussions expected to cover trade, artificial intelligence and Iran.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold a summit covering trade, artificial intelligence and Iran, marking their third in-person meeting within the span of a year.
The frequency of meetings between the two leaders reflects the scale of ongoing engagement between Washington and Beijing on a range of economic and strategic issues, even as broader US-China relations have remained a subject of close international attention.
Trade is expected to remain a central topic, continuing a long-running dialogue between the two governments over tariffs, market access and supply chain issues that have shaped bilateral relations in recent years.
Artificial intelligence has increasingly emerged as a point of discussion between major powers, with both the US and China investing heavily in AI development and each expressing concerns about the technology's strategic and security implications.
Iran is also expected to feature in the talks, reflecting the broader web of international issues in which both the United States and China play significant roles. Specific outcomes or agreements from the summit were not detailed ahead of the meeting.
