Trump is ready to meet with China’s President Xi, CNBC’s Alex Bessent reported.
The former president said he has no problem sitting down with Xi — a move that could reshape U.S. trade and diplomatic ties. Bessent told CNBC that Trump is “a go” on a summit, even though Washington has warned that any meeting could be tricky.
“Trump’s interest in talking with Xi shows he’s not looking for trouble,” Bessent said. “He just wants to find a way to move forward on trade and other issues.”
The potential summit comes at a time when the U.S. government is pushing for clearer rules on trade, technology and cross‑border investment. Even though the Biden administration says it wants a firm stance on human rights and AI, Trump’s willingness to meet could open new channels for U.S. business and policy.
If the meeting happens, it would be the first time a U.S. president has met with a sitting Chinese leader since the 1980s. That historic backdrop adds more interest to the track‑ball conversation between the two leaders.
In brief: Trump’s “go” signals a willingness to engage, potentially changing how America talks to China in the coming months.
