President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a state visit and White House dinner on Wednesday, as the two governments pursued negotiations over trade, artificial intelligence and strategic tensions.
The visit was Xi’s first state visit to the United States in 11 years and his second meeting with Trump this year, following a May summit in Beijing. At that meeting, the leaders agreed to work toward a more stable bilateral relationship, but tensions have persisted over tariffs, technology restrictions and national security measures.
U.S. and Chinese officials were negotiating a possible extension of a rare-earths truce, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said. China dominates the refining of rare earths and other critical minerals used in products ranging from mobile phones to weapons.
Taiwan, technology and trade were expected to feature prominently in the talks, along with the wars in Iran and Ukraine and tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The meeting came as Trump faced approaching U.S. midterm elections and Xi prepared for a Communist Party congress.
The White House marked the visit with ceremonial events and a state dinner. Technology executives and billionaires attended, with Forbes reporting that Elon Musk and Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang were among those seated with Trump and Xi.
