US President Donald Trump says he will ask Chinese leader Xi Jinping to “open up” China during a high-stakes summit in Beijing, aiming to expand opportunities for American firms. Trump frames the request as encouraging greater access for US businesses and says he will raise the issue as he heads to China. Multiple outlets report that the agenda also includes broader international and security topics. France 24 and other coverage indicate discussion will turn to the war in Iran. Other reporting adds that the summit will address arms sales to Taiwan, highlighting ongoing political friction between the two countries over Taiwan. Together, the reports describe a meeting expected to combine trade-related demands with regional and geopolitical issues, particularly those involving US-Chinese policy differences. While Trump’s remarks focus on market access, the coverage emphasizes that the summit is shaped by wider tensions, including Iran-related developments and Taiwan security concerns.
