US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are scheduled to meet on September 24 in Washington for a state dinner now dubbed the “G2 Summit”. The meeting follows a turbulent economic period marked by an April 2025 tariff surge where both nations raised levies above 100% before reaching a temporary stalemate. Alongside traditional trade discussions and potential climate change or pandemic prevention talks, technology leadership, export controls, and regulatory frameworks are set to dominate the agenda.
