US President Donald Trump and China’s leader Xi Jinping are set to discuss trade issues, including rare earths and tariffs, in their first meeting since Trump’s return to office. This meeting is expected to shape a potential trade deal that may end the economic disruption caused by the US-China trade war. The leaders haven’t met since 2019, with the Ukraine war, concerns about China’s technological advancement, and an imbalanced US-China trade relationship exacerbating tensions between the two nations.
