President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are slated to meet in Beijing on May 14–15, marking the first state visit to China from a U.S. president since 2017, when Trump was first in office.
Looming over the upcoming summit are geopolitical tensions—particularly trade—Taiwan, the Iran war, and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, the global economy continues to feel the effects of soaring oil and gas prices from the Strait of Hormuz blockade and the simmering trade war between the United States and China.
