Trump's Visit to China Features Major Trade Deals and Sensitive Political, Security Files

US President Donald Trump's visit to China is expected to witness the signing of broad agreements in trade, agriculture, and technology, including deals for China to purchase Boeing aircraft and increase imports of American beef, soybeans, and energy products. Informed sources anticipate the extension of the trade truce reached last year. Alongside the economic file, talks will address thorny political and security issues, including the nuclear file, the case of the Chinese citizen detained in Hong Kong, as well as the Taiwan file, which remains the most contentious point, where Beijing may pressure Washington to cancel an $11 billion arms deal. Regarding the Middle East, Trump is likely to urge China to use its influence with Iran to ensure the opening of the Strait of Hormuz to international navigation.
