Trump and Xi Meet: Small Steps on Trade and AI Expected, Not Breakthroughs

The highly anticipated meeting between Trump and Xi this week is expected to yield only modest progress on trade and AI discussions. While Trump expressed openness to Chinese car manufacturers opening plants in the US, significant policy breakthroughs are not anticipated. The focus will largely be on managing the current 'stalemate' in relations and setting a framework for future discussions on critical issues like AI regulation.
