Chinese leader Xi Jinping told Donald Trump at the opening of their Beijing summit that mishandling the Taiwan issue would place the US-China relationship in 'great jeopardy'. The two-day meeting covers trade, AI, rare earths and the Iran war.
Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a direct message on Taiwan to Donald Trump at the start of the US leader's first Beijing visit in nine years. Mishandling the issue, Xi said, would put the bilateral relationship in 'great jeopardy'.
The summit agenda spans trade tariffs, restrictions on artificial-intelligence chip exports, rare-earth supplies, the Iran war and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. Trump arrived with a business delegation that includes Elon Musk and Jensen Huang.
Speaking to CNBC after the first session, the US president said Xi had agreed that China would purchase 200 Boeing jets, although no sweeping trade deal was signed. A joint statement is expected at the close of the two-day talks.
