Description
With President Trump set to visit Beijing for talks with Xi Jinping in May 2026, all eyes are on how this summit will reshape global dynamics. European governments and industry leaders are particularly focused on four critical areas that could dictate the future of international trade and security.
Wilson Center Distinguished Fellow Ambassador Philip Reeker breaks down the key signals Europe is looking for:
Trade Relations: Will the U.S.-China trade truce be extended, deepened, or entirely reframed?
Technology & Exports: The impact of export policies on semiconductors, advanced manufacturing, and outbound investment constraints.
Security Signaling: Parsing language for escalation risks regarding Taiwan and the conflict in Ukraine.
Geopolitical Strategy: Whether China offers credible movement regarding Russia and if the U.S. chooses to coordinate with allies.
