Xi arrives in Washington for talks with Trump on trade, Taiwan, AI, wars

Chinese President Xi Jinping landed at Andrews Air Force Base, where President Trump personally greeted him at the stairs—a notable gesture given that China sent only its vice president to receive Trump in Beijing four months ago. The two leaders are set to discuss a trade agreement expiring in November, arms sales to Taiwan, artificial intelligence, and two ongoing wars. The meeting signals a potential recalibration in U.S.-China relations, though the balance of leverage remains uncertain.
