Trump and Xi Talks Set to Cover Iran, Trade, AI and Nuclear Issues

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to hold high-level talks this week, with discussions likely to focus on Iran, trade relations, artificial intelligence and nuclear security. The meeting comes as both countries attempt to ease tensions and strengthen economic cooperation.

US-China Trade and Investment Talks Return

Trump is scheduled to arrive in Beijing on Wednesday for a two-day visit, marking his first trip to China in years. Officials expect both sides to discuss new trade and investment channels, while China may announce fresh purchases involving American agriculture, energy products and aircraft.

The two countries are also expected to review an existing agreement involving rare earth minerals, a critical issue for global technology and manufacturing industries. US officials remain optimistic that the arrangement will continue.

Iran, Taiwan and AI Among Key Topics

Beyond trade, geopolitical issues are expected to dominate talks. Washington is seeking China’s support in encouraging Iran toward diplomatic negotiations while continuing discussions on regional stability.

Taiwan, nuclear arms and artificial intelligence are also expected to be major discussion points as both governments explore ways to reduce tensions and avoid future strategic conflicts.
