Chinese President Arrives in US on State Visit
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the United States on Wednesday for a three-day state visit, his first to Washington in about a decade, and is scheduled to hold a summit with President Donald Trump. Trade tops the agenda as the tariff truce approaches its end in November, alongside disputes over advanced technology, rare earth exports, Taiwan, and Iran. The two leaders last met in Beijing in May.
Why it matters: This visit brings the briefing's trade theme to the fore, with the tariff truce deadline looming over US-China relations.
