Trump-Xi state dinner: Sam Altman, Tim Cook, Jensen Huang to attend

Trump-Xi state dinner: Sam Altman, Tim Cook, Jensen Huang to attend


AI, semiconductor restrictions, trade and West Asia are expected to feature in the Trump-Xi talks as Washington and Beijing seek to manage tensions

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Apple Executive Chairman Tim Cook and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang are expected to attend a White House state dinner for Chinese President Xi Jinping next week, as artificial intelligence and technology emerge as key issues in the US-China relationship.

US President Donald Trump is expected to host Xi in Washington on September 24. The two leaders are likely to discuss trade, AI, semiconductor restrictions and the wider geopolitical situation, including the US-Iran war.

The expected attendance of three of the biggest names in US technology adds a business and technology dimension to the high-level diplomatic engagement.

Altman and Cook are reportedly planning to attend the dinner, while Huang is also expected to be among the guests, according to media reports.

The dinner comes at a time when Washington and Beijing are competing over AI development and access to advanced semiconductor technology.

The US has imposed restrictions on China’s access to some advanced AI chips, including processors developed by Nvidia. The controls are part of Washington’s efforts to limit China’s access to technologies that can be used for advanced AI and other strategic applications.

businessMore from Business

Huang has previously criticised some of the restrictions. In May, he said China had “all the chips they need” despite US export controls, according to Fox Business.

AI is expected to feature prominently in the Trump-Xi talks. Reuters reported this week that the two countries remain divided over access to advanced chips, allegations of technology copying and how AI should be regulated. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is also expected to meet Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng before the leaders’ meeting to discuss AI-related issues.

The technology industry therefore has a direct stake in the outcome of the discussions. US companies are seeking access to global markets and computing infrastructure, while Washington is trying to balance commercial interests with restrictions on technologies considered strategically sensitive.

Wang Yi, Rubio discuss Trump-Xi meeting

The diplomatic groundwork for the meeting continued on Thursday, when Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio by phone.

Wang told Rubio that China and the US should prepare for the next stage of high-level interactions in a spirit of equality, mutual respect and reciprocity, according to China’s foreign ministry. He said head-of-state diplomacy should serve as an anchor for bilateral ties and called for stronger communication and cooperation while managing differences.

The Chinese readout did not explicitly confirm that Xi and Trump would meet. It said Wang and Rubio held discussions focused on high-level exchanges between the two countries. Trump has said the Xi meeting is expected to take place on September 24.

Wang and Rubio also discussed the situation in West Asia.

The issue is particularly relevant as the US-Iran war has added another layer to tensions between Washington and Beijing. China has sought to avoid the impact of US sanctions linked to dealings with Iran while calling for diplomacy.

A day earlier, Wang met Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi in Beijing. Wang urged Iran and the US to exercise restraint, return to an interim peace deal reached in June and resume substantive consultations. He also called for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

Trade and Taiwan remain key issues

Trade will remain another major issue for Trump and Xi. The world’s two largest economies have been trying to contain the fallout from Trump’s tariff policies while negotiating over their broader economic relationship.

Taiwan is also a longstanding point of contention between Washington and Beijing. Reuters reported that the issue is expected to feature in the Trump-Xi discussions, with Beijing viewing Taiwan as a core interest.

For the technology industry, the outcome of the talks could have implications for semiconductor exports, AI development and access to the Chinese market.

Cook’s participation also comes shortly after he stepped down as Apple’s CEO and became executive chairman on September 1. John Ternus succeeded him as CEO.

The upcoming dinner will be Trump’s second state dinner since returning to the White House for his second term. His first was held for Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
