U.S. President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are continuing to hold talks to improve relations amid ongoing conflict over trade friction, technological competition, the Taiwan issue, and other issues. This meeting will be the first state visit in 11 years.
US President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet at the White House on the 24th. At a ceremony to welcome Mr. Xi on his first state visit in 11 years, Mr. Trump said that he and Mr. Xi had "built a friendship based on mutual respect and the important interests of our two peoples." He also said they would discuss security, technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
Extending the truce in the trade war, including easing export restrictions on rare earths, is expected to be a major topic on the agenda, and stressed that the two sides have been working toward building a more balanced trade relationship with China. On the 23rd, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bescent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng held talks in Washington and agreed to extend the deadline for the trade agreement, which was due to end in November, by two months.
The two leaders also appear to exchange opinions on the Taiwan issue. The Xi administration has positioned the Taiwan issue as ``the core of its core interests,'' and has strongly opposed the Trump administration's plan to sell arms to Taiwan. Following the meeting in May, Mr. Xi is expected to restrain the US side regarding the sale this time as well.
In addition, there is a possibility that opinions will be exchanged regarding Iran and the situation on the Korean Peninsula. At a summit meeting held in Beijing in May, the two countries agreed to build a "constructive, strategic and stable relationship" aimed at managing the conflict between the United States and China.
Mr. Xi arrived at Andrews Air Force Base on the outskirts of Washington by special plane on the 23rd and was greeted by Mr. Trump.
It is unusual for a U.S. president to personally greet leaders of other countries upon their arrival. Mr. Trump, who went to the base with his wife Melania Trump, chatted with Mr. Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, as they descended from the gangway. As the two leaders walked side by side on a red carpet, the national anthems of both countries and a 21-gun salute rang out to welcome the state guests. Mr. Trump waved Mr. Xi off as he got into his car and left the base.
