Trump in China for high-stakes summit with President Xi | BBC News

President Trump has been greeted in Beijing with pomp and pageantry on a two day visit to China.

He’s due to hold a high-stakes summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. The leaders of the global superpowers are expected to discuss tariffs, competition over technology, the war in Iran, and America’s relationship with Taiwan.

The trip had originally been scheduled for March but was postponed because of the US and Israel’s war in Iran, a conflict that continues to unsettle the global economy.

Trump was greeted on the red carpet by Chinese Vice-President Han Zheng, one of China’s top leaders. The move is being read as a show of respect for the US president from Beijing, after a lower-level leader received Trump on his last visit.

A brass brand and flag wavers holding Chinese and American flags chanted “welcome welcome, a warm welcome”, as the president gave his signature fist pump to the large greeting party, standing by the dozen in tight, uniformed rows.

The US president was accompanied by his son Eric Trump and a slew of US tech industry titans, including Tesla’s Elon Musk and Nvidia’s Jensen Huang among them.

Trump wrote on a social media post ahead of his arrival: “I will be asking President Xi, a Leader of extraordinary distinction, to ‘open up’ China so that these brilliant people can work their magic, and help bring the People’s Republic to an even higher level”.
