Chinese President Xi Jinping has decided to skip the UN General Assembly general debate, which opens on September 22, to travel directly to Washington for a bilateral summit with President Donald Trump on September 24. Xi will arrive on the evening of September 23 and depart on September 25, with Trump expected to greet him at a military airport near the U.S. capital. This reciprocal visit follows a meeting in Beijing in May 2026, where Trump had extended an invitation for Xi to visit the United States. Negotiations are expected to focus on extending existing trade agreements, technology policy, and artificial intelligence governance, in a context where tariffs and technology restrictions remain major variables for global markets.
