Trump has repeatedly expressed a desire for direct, one-on-one talks with Xi to address escalating trade tensions.
The meeting will be particularly over tariffs, which have reached 145% on Chinese imports to the U.S. and 125% on U.S. goods to China until their recent agreement of reducing the tarrifs temporarily.
The United States president has claimed multiple times that China’s Xi called him to discuss trade, asserting that negotiations were active and deals could be finalized within weeks.
However, Chinese officials, including Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun and Commerce Ministry spokesperson He Yadong, have consistently denied any such talks or calls.
