A meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping has reportedly been scheduled for May 14-15, 2026 in Beijing, according to Swedish media reports. The planned summit comes after a previously scheduled meeting at the end of March was reportedly canceled by the United States, primarily due to the ongoing war in Iran. While the United States has announced the Beijing meeting dates, China has not yet officially confirmed the summit in the Chinese capital, though Chinese officials have previously indicated that China was prepared to postpone the earlier planned meeting.
According to reports, there have been suggestions from Washington that a meeting would not be feasible as long as the Iran war continues, though this has not been confirmed by the White House. The two leaders previously met for a bilateral meeting on October 30, 2025 in Busan, South Korea.
