On this edition of the White House Briefing Room, Jon Decker reports from Beijing as President Trump begins a critical two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. With the Iran War looming over the talks, the leaders of the world’s two largest economies are expected to tackle rising global tensions surrounding trade, Taiwan, energy markets, and the future of U.S.-China relations.

Decker breaks down what both leaders hope to gain from the summit, including President Trump’s push for China to help pressure Iran and expand purchases of American goods such as soybeans, energy products, and Boeing aircraft. Meanwhile, President Xi is seeking economic stability at home while attempting to weaken U.S. support for Taiwan.
