US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is set to meet with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng this weekend, ahead of the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping next week.
Key Issues on the Summit Agenda
The upcoming summit between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping is scheduled to take place at the White House on September 24, 2026.
Experts believe the meeting’s agenda will focus on core issues, including trade, tariffs on Chinese vehicles, the security and governance of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, and geopolitical concerns such as the wars in Ukraine and Gaza.
However, analysts note that both leaders will seek to maintain economic stability ahead of the upcoming US midterm elections. They caution that major breakthroughs on fundamental topics, such as Taiwan and technological competition, appear unlikely at this time.
