Trump Meets Xi as Iran War Reshapes Summit Agenda

Trump's visit to Beijing — already significant as a reset of US-China trade relations — has been dramatically complicated by the ongoing US-Iran war, with Tehran's parliament declaring Washington has 'no alternative' but to accept its 14-point ceasefire proposal. The summit now carries the weight of two simultaneous crises: a trade war that was already straining global supply chains and a Middle East conflict threatening to drag in regional powers. Taiwan, tariffs, and the Strait of Hormuz are all on the table when Trump sits down with Xi Jinping in Beijing.
