European leaders and policymakers are closely monitoring the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing while voicing concerns about being excluded from critical decisions shaping the future global order.
The highly anticipated negotiations between the US and Chinese presidents cover trade, technology, and geopolitical disputes with consequences extending far beyond bilateral US-China relations. Brussels fears that Washington and Beijing may reach agreements affecting European economic and security interests without consulting the EU.
The summit reflects a broader pattern of major-power negotiations occurring without meaningful European participation, raising questions about the bloc's strategic autonomy and influence in shaping global outcomes.
