US President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for a three-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meetings come at a time of global instability, as there are tensions between the US and China over recent political and economic issues.

A main topic is the ongoing war in Iran, which has caused a blockade affecting global energy supplies. President Trump is expected to ask President Xi to help make progress towards peace because China relies on oil from the region.

Other important subjects include trade disagreements and security concerns about Taiwan. Both countries hope this summit will lead to progress on these difficult issues. World markets are watching to see if the leaders can agree on trade and steps to help end the Iran conflict.
