President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are meeting in Washington for Xi’s first official state visit to the United States in more than a decade, as relations remain strained after nearly two years of tariff-driven trade conflict. The summit’s agenda includes efforts to stabilize trade agreements and reduce economic volatility, but lawmakers are also urging Trump to address artificial intelligence, Taiwan, opioid precursor chemicals, China’s role in supporting Tehran during the Iran War and human rights. Capitol Hill pressure centers on five areas: an international AI-safety dialogue and safeguards against autonomous nuclear launches; tariffs, the more than $1 trillion U.S. trade deficit with China last year and sales of advanced AI chips; Taiwan’s autonomy and delayed weapons deliveries; Chinese enforcement against fentanyl precursor manufacturers and illicit finance; and political prisoners and broader human rights abuses. Trump greeted Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday evening. Formal White House meetings are scheduled over the following two days, including a state dinner Thursday night and a private tea Friday morning, while Xi will visit the National Archives as part of Trump’s celebration of the country’s 250th birthday.
