U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet at the White House in Washington on Sept. 24 to discuss trade, rare earths and artificial intelligence. Their meeting will be the first in roughly four months, since May, and will coincide with Xi's first state visit to the United States in more than a decade. A state dinner in the White House East Room will include major American technology executives, including Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, Jensen Huang, Sam Altman, Tim Cook and Michael Dell, as well as Citigroup CEO Jane Fraser and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, who is also expected to attend. Both leaders are scheduled to speak, while Trump described the dinner as "a very hard ticket to get." The summit comes as AI, semiconductors and computing infrastructure become central to U.S.-China competition, with Washington restricting advanced chip exports and Beijing seeking relief from those measures. Rare earths and supply-chain access are also key issues, with China dominant in processing materials used in electronics and electric vehicles. Separately, South Korea has a full schedule of legal, legislative, industrial and transport developments, including the appellate hearing for Kakao founder Kim Beom-su, a Chuseok highway toll waiver, hydrogen and electric-vehicle policy forums, parliamentary proceedings, AI and cloud events, and a planned constitutional petition by the Korean Medical Association.
