Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met in Washington on September 25, 2026, to discuss trade, security, and AI governance. The leaders agreed to establish a bilateral communication channel for AI incidents and accelerate military crisis communications. Additionally, they agreed to more favorable tariff treatment for $30 billion of non-sensitive goods in each direction, and China committed to importing at least 10 million metric tons of coal from the US in 2027 and 2028.
