US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping will meet Thursday morning in Beijing, according to the White House, for a high-stakes summit that will be dominated by discussions on trade and the war in Iran.
The trip marks the first visit by a US president to China in nearly a decade and comes as the leaders of the world’s two largest economies struggle to navigate a number of bilateral issues and tensions over the Middle East conflict.
