Trump and Xi meet in Washington as trade and tech disputes continue
Xi Jinping and Trump meet in Washington to test rare earth and trade promises See whether Boeing, tariffs, AI and farm imports move the deal forward
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington on Wednesday for talks with President Donald Trump, following an earlier agreement that covered rare earths, agricultural purchases, trade, and investment.
The latest summit is focused on whether China has followed through on those commitments, with reports suggesting progress on Boeing aircraft purchases but weaker results on farm imports and slower rollout of new trade and investment boards.
Beyond the economic issues, the two sides are still divided on tariffs, advanced technology, artificial intelligence, intellectual property, and Taiwan. The meetings are expected to address rareearth supply concerns and possible tariff cuts on some nonstrategic goods, while AI is also set to be a major topic.
