 US-China trade talks begin in Paris, setting stage for Trump-Xi summit  U.S. and Chinese officials began high-level trade talks in Paris on Sunday, setting the stage for President Donald Trump’s upcoming visit to Beijing to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in about two weeks. The delegations are led by U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng. While the White House has announced Trump’s visit for March 31 to April 2, Beijing has not yet confirmed the dates. Bessent emphasized that the U.S. team aims to secure outcomes that prioritize American farmers, workers, and businesses. Over the two-day talks, the delegations will focus on trade and economic issues of mutual concern. Trump’s visit will be his first to China since his first term in 2017 and follows a one-year truce in the U.S.-China trade war agreed upon last year in Busan, South Korea.

 Trump defends Saudi crown prince in Khashoggi case, saying 'he knew nothing'

President Donald Trump welcomed Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to the White House on Tuesday, marking the prince’s first visit since the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Trump defended the crown prince, saying he “knew nothing” about Khashoggi’s killing, a statement at odds with U.S. intelligence assessments that concluded Mohammed was responsible. Trump praised the prince for his leadership and said he was proud of his record on human rights.

The visit was accompanied by a ceremonial display including a military flyover, a Rose Garden tour, and Trump lauding the reception he received during his visit to Saudi Arabia. The two leaders discussed large-scale U.S. investments, economic and defense agreements, and potential arms deals, including the sale of F-35 stealth fighter jets. Trump also designated Saudi Arabia as a “Major Non-NATO Ally,” expanding the country’s military cooperation with the U.S. Critics, however, raised ethical concerns over Trump’s financial ties to the kingdom and Saudi Arabia’s human rights record. Crown Prince Mohammed addressed criticism over Khashoggi’s murder, the 9/11 families, and promised reforms, while analysts noted his visit signals a broader push to strengthen Saudi ties in the region despite ongoing controversies.
