President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet this week in a summit that was delayed because of the conflict in Iran, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

Trump will visit Beijing on May 14–15, marking the first state visit to China from a U.S. president since 2017, when Trump was first in office.

Geopolitical tensions, particularly trade, Taiwan, the Iran war, and artificial intelligence (AI) loom over the upcoming meeting, according to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The war in Iran will also loom over the meeting — Iran is one of China’s closest partners in the Middle East, reported the New York Times.
