What happened
President Donald Trump announced that Chinese President Xi Jinping would visit the United States on September 24, adding that he anticipated 'a lot of good things' from the talks regarding overseas investment and economic rivalry with China. Meanwhile, Trump is engaged in a week of diplomacy, including meetings with world leaders at the UN General Assembly in New York. The discussions occur against a backdrop of global fuel costs impacting U.S. agriculture.
Why it matters
The international trade environment is marked by protectionist trends from the U.S. administration. Former U.S. Ambassador David L. Cohen noted that the Trump administration's hardline trade pressure caused countries to reconsider broader deals with China, especially after trade negotiations collapsed last month.
The current events occur against the backdrop of tariffs and trade controls between the United States and China.
