President Donald Trump says he will meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping on May 14 and 15 in Beijing, rescheduling a summit delayed by the Iran conflict. The meeting is expected to focus heavily on trade, with agriculture back at the center of discussions. U.S. officials say groundwork is already underway, with talks aimed at boosting exports of soybeans, corn, beef, and poultry, as well as improving biotechnology approvals and enforcing Phase One trade commitments. The summit could be a key opportunity to rebuild momentum in U.S.-China trade relations and provide new demand for U.S. agriculture during a period of market uncertainty. The White House also indicated the leaders could meet multiple times this year, signaling an active phase in diplomatic engagement. Analysts say the outcome of the Beijing meeting will be closely watched for signs of progress on trade and market access.
