Trump and Xi Discuss Middle East, Taiwan, and Trade in Beijing

U.S. President Donald Trump is holding talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping in Beijing today.

The discussions focus on three key issues: wars in the Middle East, the Taiwan question, and bilateral trade and economic relations between the two countries.

The visit comes at a time of sustained tension between Washington and Beijing over a number of strategic issues, and reflects diplomatic attempts to find common ground on longstanding unresolved matters.
