Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit the United States from September 23 to 25, 2026, for a September 24 White House meeting with President Donald Trump, bypassing the United Nations General Assembly general debate in New York. The visit will be Xi's first state visit to the United States since the Obama administration and follows their May 2026 meeting in Beijing, which Tsinghua University senior fellow Zhou Bo called "a U-turn in China-U.S. relations." Talks are expected to cover trade, tariffs, investment restrictions, technology policy, artificial intelligence, critical minerals and strategic stability, with Iran expected to take priority over Taiwan. Technology executives expected at the state dinner include OpenAI President Greg Brockman, CEO Sam Altman, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Dell Technologies CEO Michael Dell, Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and former Apple CEO Tim Cook. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon were also previously reported as expected attendees. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng have explored a preliminary AI communication framework that could include national-security alerts.
