China confirms Xi to visit the US this week for Trump talks

The leaders are expected to discuss tariffs, AI guardrails and rare-earth supplies as trade talks continue to test a yearlong 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.
  • On Sunday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met Vice Premier He Lifeng in New York to lay the groundwork for the summit. They proposed a "notification mechanism" for national security incidents involving artificial intelligence, aimed at increasing transparency between the two nations.
  • Describing the weekend talks as "candid, in-depth and constructive," officials addressed trade and technology. Washington has tightened export restrictions on advanced AI chips to Beijing, while the latter retains leverage through its supply of rare-earth magnets and other critical materials.
  • 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.
