On Thursday, September 24, People’s Republic of China President Xi Jinping is set to visit the White House for a scheduled summit with President Donald Trump—a meeting reciprocating the bilateral talks held in Beijing earlier this year.
In advance of this summit, please join the Center for American Progress on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, at 11:00 AM ET as we host a timely conversation with Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) that will examine the evolving challenges posed by the People’s Republic of China, as well as opportunities for strategic engagement within the bilateral relationship.
As Trump and Xi prepare to address a complex, high-stakes agenda, Sen. Duckworth and CAP Senior Fellow for China Policy Jonathan Fritz will analyze how the world’s most consequential bilateral relationship directly affects American security, industry, and daily life, as well as propose bold new policy prescriptions to advance U.S. interests.
