President Xi Jinping made his first visit to the White House in more than a decade, marking a high‑profile summit between the United States and China that is being broadcast live to audiences worldwide.
The talks, which have been framed as a chance to address a range of pressing bilateral issues, focus on trade disputes, the rapid development of artificial intelligence, the status of Taiwan and the ongoing conflict in Iran.
Trade remains a central point of contention, with both sides citing tariffs and market access as key obstacles to a more balanced economic relationship.
Artificial intelligence is also on the agenda, as the two nations seek to negotiate rules and standards for the technology that is reshaping global industries.
In addition to economic and technological matters, the summit tackles political and security concerns, including the status of Taiwan and the broader implications of the war in Iran for regional stability.
