US and Chinese leaders are set to meet in Washington this week, with multiple reports listing the main topics expected to shape talks between President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping. Coverage points to trade and economic disputes as central, alongside broader concerns that affect businesses and markets.

All outlets’ previews also highlight security and technology-related questions, including restrictions and competition in strategic industries. Financial and policy follow-through—such as the scope and timeline of any agreements, enforcement mechanisms, and potential market impacts—are presented as practical issues that will determine whether negotiations translate into concrete commitments.

While each source frames the agenda slightly differently, they converge on the idea that the summit is focused on reducing friction in trade while addressing sensitivities around technology, economic leverage, and national security. Some reports emphasize the near-term bargaining priorities and possible economic outcomes, while others stress that difficult structural issues remain unresolved and could limit the speed or durability of any deal.
