Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump met to discuss key issues such as the tariff truce and the race in Artificial Intelligence. This meeting marks Xi's first official visit to the United States in over ten years.

During President Xi Jinping's official visit to the United States, crucial topics such as the tariff truce and competition in Artificial Intelligence were addressed. According to expansion.com, Trump welcomed Xi at Andrews Base, a rare honour for US leaders.

One of the highlighted issues was the expiration of the tariff truce, scheduled for November 10. Both leaders will seek to facilitate an extension to avoid an open economic war. The negotiations leading up to the summit were led by US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng.

Artificial Intelligence was also a key point. The United States has proposed a joint alert system to mitigate risks associated with AI, a topic both countries have agreed to develop at a future technical meeting in China. The dinner hosted by Trump will include tech leaders such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, highlighting the importance of the sector on the meeting's agenda.

Additionally, the situation in Taiwan and the tensions arising from the US war against Iran will be delicate topics during the summit.
