Trump-Xi Summit to Address Trade and Iran Conflict Amid Global Tensions
President Trump is set to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing from May 13-15, with the U.S.-China trade war and the Iran conflict high on the agenda. The summit, initially delayed due to the U.S.-Iran war, aims to address the high tariffs imposed by Trump last year and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil supply. China, affected by the conflict, seeks stability and predictability in trade relations. The meeting may result in a broadly worded statement to extend the trade truce agreed in South Korea. Additionally, the summit will address arms sales to Taiwan, a contentious issue for Beijing.
