China confirms Xi to visit the US this week for Trump talks
The meeting is expected to focus on tariffs, AI safeguards and rare earth supplies as both sides seek to extend a fragile trade truce.
- President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United States from September 23 to 25 at the invitation of President Donald Trump. This reciprocal trip follows a May visit to hold "in-depth exchanges of views" on major issues.

- Amid simmering trade tensions, legislation was signed authorizing tariffs of up to 100 per cent on countries purchasing Russian energy. This new sanctions law adds significant complexity to the upcoming summit and ongoing negotiations regarding trade and economic stability.
- Former deputy secretary of state Kurt Campbell stated, "One of the only things we can hope for in the short term is a truce." Meanwhile, officials continue to review a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan, an issue kept under close scrutiny.
