Trump to meet Xi in Beijing as war and inflation weigh on presidency

14 Sept 03:13 Key points summarised by AI

President Trump is set to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing, facing domestic pressures from the U.S.-Israel war with Iran and rising inflation.
Trump aims to secure trade deals for increased U.S. exports and proposes establishing a 'Board of Trade' to mitigate future trade disputes between the two superpowers.
Key agenda items include discussions on U.S. weapons sales to Taiwan and Trump's initiative for a trilateral nuclear arms pact involving the U.S., China, and Russia.
Despite global concerns over the Strait of Hormuz closure and energy price spikes, Trump asserts Iran is 'under control' and not a primary discussion point, while China seeks to reduce tech restrictions and tariffs.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
