Artificial intelligence and trade on the table at US and China leaders' summit
While no concrete results are expected from the meeting between the leaders of the United States and China, trade tensions and artificial intelligence safety are being addressed.
The meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Maryland aims to manage relations in the shadow of deep distrust between the two countries.
Expectations from the Summit
Chinese leader Xi Jinping is traveling to Maryland to meet with US President Donald Trump. No major breakthrough is expected from the meeting of the leaders, who are coming face-to-face for the second time this year.
Artificial Intelligence Safety
Areas where the two leaders could reach a consensus include artificial intelligence safety. A large number of technology company executives are expected to attend the official dinner at the White House.
Trade and Tariffs
The topic of trade is among the most important agenda items of the talks. While the temporary truce reached last year expired in November, the parties are negotiating long-term steps.
Taiwan and Geopolitical Issues
The issue of Taiwan and China's relations with Iran and Russia are among the background challenges. The US is considering postponing arms sales to Taiwan.
