US President Donald Trump said he could potentially meet Chinese President Xi multiple times this year, with possible summits expected in both the United States and China. The comments come as investors continue watching US-China relations closely, especially around trade and artificial intelligence technology.
Trump also claimed that China has not moved ahead with purchases of NVIDIA’s H200 AI chips, despite Washington allowing certain sales approvals. According to him, China is focusing more on building its own domestic semiconductor and AI industry instead of relying heavily on American technology.
The situation highlights the growing competition between the world’s two largest economies in the global AI race. While diplomatic discussions may continue, there were no major breakthroughs on technology agreements during the latest talks, leaving markets cautious.
Following the summit updates, several chip-related stocks experienced mild pressure as traders reacted to the uncertainty surrounding future US-China tech cooperation. Analysts believe the semiconductor battle between both countries could remain one of the biggest market-moving themes throughout 2026.
Investors will now closely monitor any future Trump-Xi meetings, as even small developments in trade policy or AI technology restrictions could strongly impact global markets, tech stocks, and crypto sentiment.
