Xi Jinping is traveling to the United States for talks with Donald Trump. The Chinese leader's state visit will last from September 23 to 25. Trade will be a key topic. The current ceasefire expires on November 10, and the parties have not yet been able to agree on an extension. Washington needs results that Trump can present domestically as a success: increased Chinese purchases of American agricultural and energy products, new commercial contracts, according to Nong Hong, executive director of the Institute for US-China Studies. Economic ties between the US and China continue to deteriorate. In the first half of the year, American imports from China fell by 23%, while accumulated Chinese direct investment in the US in 2025 fell by 41%, noted Evgeny Khoroshilov, head of the economic research department at ISCRAN.

Some of the internal questions around a potential meeting on the sidelines of UNGA have centered on whether such a conversation would be meaningful to the Trump administration’s efforts to find an off ramp to the US war with Iran. There is also some skepticism about whether the officials present in New York have the confidence of Tehran’s Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who is viewed as the ultimate decision maker, the official said. • • It’s also unclear, the official said, if the Iranians are also open to a potential meeting.
