Trump and Xi Jinping meet at White House ahead of trade talks
Donald Trump is scheduled to welcome Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Wednesday, September 23, for a summit focused on trade and technology.
Unusual airport greeting planned
The US president will personally meet Xi at Joint Base Andrews before they proceed to Washington. This face-to-face reception is an unusual diplomatic gesture because presidents do not typically travel to airports to welcome foreign leaders. A delegation led by Treasury secretary Scott Bessent is currently meeting with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng to set the agenda.
Trade truce expiration date
The trade agreement reached in Busan last year expires on November 10. Both governments must decide whether to extend the pact that lowered tariff threats and paused port fees. Leaders may also discuss setting purchase targets for agricultural products during this meeting.
