00:00Trump and Xi are heading into talks that could shape the world's next big power shift.
00:04This week, the U.S. and China will meet face-to-face in Beijing.
00:08And the agenda is huge.
00:10Trade, rare earth minerals, Boeing planes, American farm goods, energy deals,
00:17Taiwan, Iran, nuclear weapons, and artificial intelligence.
00:21Both sides are trying to calm tensions after months of pressure.
00:25China may announce major purchases from the U.S.
00:28Washington wants China to keep rare earth minerals flowing.
00:32These minerals are vital for phones, cars, weapons, and high-tech industries.
00:37But the harder talks may come behind closed doors.
00:40Trump wants Xi to pressure Iran.
00:42He also wants answers on China's ties with Russia.
00:46Xi, meanwhile, is angry over U.S. support for Taiwan.
00:49And now AI has entered the room.
00:52U.S. officials say both countries may need a direct channel
00:55to avoid future conflict over powerful AI systems.
00:59The message is clear.
01:00This is not just another diplomatic visit.
01:03It is a test of whether the world's two biggest economies can step back from the edge.
