U.S. President Donald Trump is hosting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington this week as competition between the two countries intensifies. ABC News US reported that tensions are flaring over artificial intelligence, trade and Iran, while both leaders continue to seek stability in the bilateral relationship.

U.S. President Donald Trump is hosting Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington this week as economic and technology competition between the United States and China escalates, ABC News US reported. The meeting comes as tensions between the two countries flare over artificial intelligence, trade and Iran.

The supplied report does not specify the individual measures, disputes or negotiating positions associated with those issues. Despite the sharper disagreements, Trump and Xi are still seeking stability, according to the source. The available material does not explain what form that stability is expected to take or identify any agreements reached during the visit.

It also does not provide details of the leaders’ schedules, the planned talks or statements from either government. No outcome from the meeting is included. The report therefore sets the encounter against two parallel developments: intensifying economic and technology competition and an effort by the leaders to prevent the relationship from becoming less stable.

Further facts about the discussions were not supplied.
