United States President Donald Trump is in Beijing for a high-stakes summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping aimed at easing deep tensions between the rival superpowers.<\/p>\n
Visiting China for the first time since 2017 during his previous term, Trump received a lavish welcome from Chinese authorities.<\/p>\n
As he departed the White House, Trump said he expected a \u201clong talk\u201d with Xi about the US-Israeli war on Iran, which sells most of its US-sanctioned oil to China.<\/p>\n
But he also downplayed disagreements, telling reporters that \u201cI don\u2019t think we need any help with Iran\u201d from China and that Xi had been \u201crelatively good\u201d on the topic.<\/p>\n
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Wednesday it \u201cwelcomes\u201d Trump\u2019s visit and that \u201cChina stands ready to work with the United States \u2026 to expand cooperation and manage differences\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published On 14 May 202614 May 2026 United States President Donald Trump is in Beijing for a high-stakes…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":670946,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[77,512,2490,30592,43,44,41,39,42,40,262188,9731],"class_list":["post-670945","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-asia-pacific","tag-china","tag-donald-trump","tag-gallery","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories","tag-us-israel-war-on-iran","tag-xi-jinping"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670945","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=670945"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/670945\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/670946"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=670945"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=670945"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=670945"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
