AI, Trade, Taiwan—Here’s What To Expect From The Trump-Xi DC Summit: Expert

President Donald Trump and China’s President Xi Jinping are expected to meet in Washington, D.C., later this week for a summit—the first time Xi will attend a meeting at the White House with a U.S. president in more than a decade. Lyle Goldstein, who serves as the director of the China Initiative at the Watson School of International and Public Affairs at Brown University, as well as the director of the Asia program at Defense Priorities, joined “Forbes Newsroom” to discuss what to expect from the high-stakes summit.
