Washington, September 3: Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit the United States on September 24. The date was announced by U.S. President Donald Trump during a meeting with officials from the American travel industry. The discussion covered topics such as foreign investment, artificial intelligence (AI), and economic competition between the U.S. and China.
Trump stated, “President Xi is coming here on the 24th. It will be very exciting. I look forward to welcoming him.” He expressed hope for positive outcomes from the meeting, although he did not provide detailed information about the agenda for the visit.
Earlier, during a conversation with reporters in the Oval Office, Trump had mentioned that the Chinese president would be visiting the U.S. This marks the first time he has disclosed the specific date of September 24.
During the meeting, Trump frequently referenced China, noting that record levels of investment are flowing into the U.S. He also claimed that America is significantly ahead of China in the field of AI.
The U.S. president has long emphasized that competition with China in areas such as AI, semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and other strategic technologies is a crucial part of his economic and national security policy.
Trump also mentioned Canada during the discussion, stating that many are surprised when he says that negotiating with Canada can sometimes be more challenging than dealing with China. He remarked, “People ask me which country is the toughest? Is it China? Vietnam? But I say that actually dealing with Canada has been more difficult.”
The upcoming meeting on September 24 occurs at a time when competition between the U.S. and China continues to intensify over trade, technology, and global influence. Despite significant differences regarding tariffs, export controls, and sensitive technologies, both nations remain deeply interconnected as the world’s two largest economies.
