Xi Jinping to visit Washington for state summit with Donald Trump

President Donald Trump is set to host Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit to Washington starting September 23, 2026. In a departure from standard diplomatic protocol, Trump plans to personally greet Xi and Peng Liyuan at Joint Base Andrews upon their arrival.

The high-level summit will focus on critical issues including trade relations, artificial intelligence, and strategic technologies. Key discussions are expected to cover the international flow of rare earth elements and potential adjustments to existing tariffs. To prepare for the summit, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng are scheduled to meet, while US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer will hold talks with Chinese officials in New York.

A State Dinner will be held in the White House East Room on September 24, featuring a guest list of prominent American technology executives, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Sundar Pichai, Michael Dell, and Tim Cook. The visit occurs amidst intense global competition between the United States and China regarding leadership in AI and manufacturing sectors.
