China and US prepare for Xi-Trump meeting in Washington on September 24

Chinese President Xi Jinping is expected to meet with President Donald Trump in Washington on September 24, 2026, as both sides work toward resolving trade disputes. Beijing signaled interest in reciprocal tariff reductions on $30 billion worth of goods and is weighing sending top business executives to accompany Xi. Trump indicated openness to a Chinese car company building EVs in the US with American workers while maintaining a ban on imported Chinese vehicles.
