President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet at the White House on September 24, with artificial intelligence, trade, rare-earth supplies and economic issues expected on the agenda. The meeting follows preparatory talks scheduled for September 20 in New York between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. The talks are expected to address a possible extension of a tariff truce that expires November 10, Chinese supplies of rare-earth magnets and critical minerals, and the prospect of separate U.S. and Chinese AI ecosystems [koreatimes.co.kr][cna.com.tw][kyodonews.net]. Bessent said he was open to discussing shared AI risks and open- and closed-weight models. U.S. officials and analysts said Washington and Beijing remain divided over export controls, intellectual-property allegations and the pace of AI development [straitstimes.com][rthk.hk][npr.org]. Sam Altman, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook and other technology executives are expected at the September 24 state dinner, where Trump and Xi will speak. Xi is scheduled to arrive at Joint Base Andrews on September 23, where Trump plans to greet him, and depart on September 25 after a private tea and a visit to the National Archives [semafor.com][japantoday.com][globo.com][kyodonews.net].
