Trump and Xi Prepare for Major Talks on AI, Trade and Technology
Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to arrive in the United States for a high-level meeting with US President Donald Trump at the White House. The discussions are expected to cover several major issues shaping the relationship between the world’s two largest economies, including artificial intelligence, technology, trade, national security, Taiwan, and broader global affairs.
Artificial intelligence is emerging as one of the most important areas of competition between the United States and China. China is rapidly expanding its AI infrastructure, investing heavily in computing power and building large numbers of data centers across the country. In Inner Mongolia, vast areas that were recently farmland are being transformed into major data center hubs, highlighting the scale of China’s ambitions in artificial intelligence.
This video takes a closer look at China’s growing AI infrastructure and the different approaches taken by China and the United States toward the development and regulation of artificial intelligence. China is also promoting open-source AI models, which could make advanced AI technology more accessible to businesses and developing countries while potentially expanding the global influence of Chinese technology.

Another major issue is the future of AI governance. Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for greater international cooperation and a global framework for governing artificial intelligence. The United States, meanwhile, has focused heavily on issues including national security, technological competition and identifying areas where the two countries’ AI capabilities may intersect.
Beyond artificial intelligence, trade is expected to remain a major part of the Trump-Xi discussions. Previous US-China tariff tensions pushed trade relations into a period of significant uncertainty, while subsequent agreements have sought to ease some of those tensions. Businesses around the world will be watching closely for any developments that could affect tariffs, supply chains, technology exports and international commerce.
Advanced semiconductor technology could also become an important point of discussion. China has sought greater access to high-end computing chips, while the United States has imposed restrictions on certain advanced technologies because of national security concerns. The outcome of discussions over technology and semiconductors could have implications for the global AI industry.
Taiwan is another sensitive issue in the US-China relationship. Beijing has long claimed Taiwan as part of China, while the United States maintains its own longstanding policies and security relationship concerning the island. Any discussion involving Taiwan could therefore attract significant international attention.
The conversation may also extend beyond US-China bilateral relations. With tensions and conflicts continuing in other parts of the world, China’s economic and diplomatic relationships could make discussions about the Middle East and Iran relevant to the broader agenda.
In this video, we examine:
• Trump and Xi Jinping’s upcoming White House meeting
