Trump and Xi set for a Washington meeting amid low China-watcher expectations

Reported · Written up by our desk · Trade & Tariffs

CNBC World reports that President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, D.C. for a summit that is expected to occur less than six weeks before the U.S. election.

The outlet notes that some China watchers are holding relatively low expectations for the talks, pointing to the tight timeline and the proximity to the election.

CNBC World also cites polling that suggests Democrats are favored to make gains in Congress, framing the political environment around the meeting.
