US President Donald Trump arrives in Beijing for a high-stakes summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, aiming to ease tensions between the rival superpowers while pursuing trade and business outcomes. The visit marks the first time a US president visits China in nearly a decade. Multiple reports say the talks come amid potential friction over several issues, including Iran, trade, and Taiwan. Trump’s trip has been delayed from earlier plans due to the war in the Middle East, and he characterizes expectations for the meeting as a “long talk” with Xi about Iran. Iran-related disputes figure prominently because China relies on Iran for energy and is described as a major customer for US-sanctioned Iranian oil. At the same time, Trump downplays the extent of disagreements with Xi on Iran, saying Xi has been “relatively good.” Separate coverage adds that Trump seeks tangible trade wins during the final phases of meetings, with interest spanning sectors such as agriculture and aviation. The summit is also described as being overshadowed by Xi’s sharply worded warning concerning Taiwan.
