US and China discuss tariffs and trade
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have begun a two-day summit in Beijing. The meeting is expected to cover various topics including tariffs, rare earths, and artificial intelligence.
The last time a sitting US president visited China was in 2017. The US delegation includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio and business executives such as Tesla’s Elon Musk and Apple’s Tim Cook.
China’s top diplomat, Wang Yi, and Zheng Shanjie, head of the economic planning agency, are among the Chinese representatives. The summit is seen as a crucial moment in US-China relations.
The meeting may have implications for global trade and markets, but the outcome is uncertain.
