Summary

  • Sept. 24 is the date Trump gave for Xi Jinping’s White House visit, announcing the trip during EPA remarks and signaling a fresh round of top-level US-China talks.
  • AI is expected to dominate the meeting after Trump tied the visit to his push for more US data centers and said beating China in the technology race is critical.
  • Beijing was where the invitation originated earlier this year, when Trump met Xi and said they discussed a future US visit.
  • Wednesday talks between Marco Rubio and Wang Yi helped prepare the ground, with Rubio describing the planned summit as a “very positive visit.”
