Trade, Taiwan and Middle East tensions loom as US and Chinese leaders meet for first state visit since Trump’s return Before boarding Marine One for Andrews Air Force Base, Trump struck an optimistic tone about the visit, saying he expected “great things” from the summit and describing Xi as “a friend” with whom he shares a strong personal relationship. “I spoke with Xi, we both look forward to the meeting,” Trump said. “We’ll be talking about many things, but more than anything, it will be trade.” Trump said he did not expect Iran to feature prominently in discussions with Xi, adding that “we have Iran very much under control”. The remarks came a day after Trump dismissed Tehran’s latest peace proposal as “garbage” and said the existing ceasefire was “on life support”. He did, however, indicate that recent developments in Cuba would be discussed during the visit. “Cuba is not doing well, and we’ll be talking about Cuba on the trip,” Trump said.
