Donald Trump plans to host Chinese President Xi Jinping at a formal dinner on September 24, in a gesture aimed at easing tensions between Washington and Beijing.

The expected visit carries political and economic weight beyond protocol. Relations between the world’s two largest economies have experienced sharp fluctuations, with repeated disputes over economic and security policies and geopolitical influence.

Trump has asked Xi not to become involved in the confrontation with Iran, stressing that China is not directly participating in the conflict. He has also again highlighted the strength of his personal relationship with Xi as a way to keep channels of dialogue open.

The meeting comes as strategic disagreements persist, even though Trump says trade relations between Washington and Beijing remain good. The dinner is therefore presented as an attempt to maintain contact while the two sides navigate tensions over Iran and their broader bilateral relationship.
