U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for his hotly anticipated talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping on the Iran war, trade, and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The meat of the summit won’t happen until Thursday, when the leaders hold bilateral talks and a formal banquet.

Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump are holding a high-profile U.S.-China summit in Beijing, focusing on issues including trade, technology, Taiwan, and the Iran war. The two-day meeting is anticipated to stabilize bilateral relations rather than produce major breakthroughs.

During President Donald Trump's high-profile visit to China, he is engaging in symbolic and ceremonial events with Chinese President Xi Jinping, amid tempered expectations for substantial policy breakthroughs. The agenda includes bilateral meetings, cultural site visits, and a state banquet at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a key summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, aiming to address major issues including the Iran war, trade disputes, and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan. The high-stakes visit began with a ceremonial welcome and will include formal bilateral talks, cultural visits, and a banquet.

President Donald Trump is set to leave for Beijing for high-stakes talks with President Xi Jinping after weeks of trying, and failing, to persuade the Chinese government to use its considerable leverage to prod Iran to agree to U.S. terms to end the two-month war — or at the very least, reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump declared that the Iran ceasefire is “on massive life support,” criticizing Tehran’s latest proposal as unacceptable. As peace talks falter, oil prices have surged, prompting Trump to propose a temporary suspension of the federal gas tax to ease consumer burden.
