President Donald Trump touched down in Beijing for a two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping as their two countries look to stabilize a trade truce against the backdrop of the simmering U.S. conflict with Iran. Trade will be at the forefront of discussions between the world’s two biggest economies, and Trump is bringing more than a dozen chief executives with him to Beijing, including Apple’s Tim Cook and Elon Musk, the chief executive of SpaceX and Tesla. The goal of the week will be to return to Washington with positive economic headlines and a reinforced personal relationship that both governments regard as the most consequential bilateral tie in the world, according to former officials and experts. |
