- Officials said the leaders are also expected to discuss Taiwan, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and rare earth supply chains during the summit.
- Administration officials also emphasised there would be no change in longstanding US policy toward Taiwan, while highlighting increased American arms sales to Taipei and calling for Taiwan to further boost defence spending.
- Officials said Trump and Xi could discuss establishing a formal communication channel on AI-related security concerns as both countries race to develop increasingly advanced systems with military and cyber implications.
- Officials additionally pointed to ongoing discussions surrounding rare earth supply chains and access to critical minerals used in defence systems, electronics and advanced manufacturing.
The discussion topics, including Taiwan and rare earth supply chains, suggest a focus on strategic military and economic interests, which could introduce volatility in markets like energy and equities, especially around commodities linked to these global supply chains.
