President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a state visit and White House dinner, their second meeting of the year following a May summit in Beijing.
The visit opened a new round of talks focused on trade, technology and security issues. Negotiators were discussing a possible extension of a truce intended to maintain U.S. access to Chinese rare-earth products, according to NPR. China has a dominant role in refining rare earths and other critical minerals used in products ranging from cellphones to weapons.
Taiwan, artificial intelligence and trade were expected to feature prominently in the discussions, along with the wars in Iran and Ukraine and tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The meeting followed renewed friction after the May summit, including additional U.S. tariffs on Chinese exports over forced-labor claims, the placement of Chinese technology companies on a Pentagon military blacklist and an import ban on new Chinese humanoid robots and robot dogs over national-security concerns.
Trump paired the negotiations with ceremonial events, including a state dinner attended by prominent technology executives. Forbes reported that Tesla chief Elon Musk and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang were among those seated with Trump and Xi.
