President Trump will meet China’s President Xi Jinping on Thursday at 10:15am local time (02:15am GMT) to discuss tariffs and critical minerals. The summit follows Trump’s arrival in Beijing on Wednesday evening, with markets closely watching trade negotiations amid ongoing tensions.
The meeting precedes April US CPI data, a key indicator for Federal Reserve policy. Fed nominee Kevin Warsh’s confirmation is also nearing completion, adding to the week’s macroeconomic focus. Analysts expect the summit to address trade imbalances and supply chain security.
