US President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet in California for talks on trade, Taiwan, and US-Chinese relations, AP News reports.
The meeting is the first between the leaders in nearly a year and is anticipated on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco. The leaders are expected to discuss the importance of open communication, managing competition, and addressing transnational challenges.
The agenda includes contentious issues like US export controls on advanced technology, tensions over Taiwan, North Korea’s ballistic missile tests, and Iran’s influence in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The meeting comes amid a potentially challenging period in US-Chinese relations, with elections in Taiwan and the US approaching.
