Secretary of State Rubio and Chinese Foreign Minister Coordinate Details for Trump‑Xi Washington Summit

Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with China's foreign minister. The discussion centered on logistics for the upcoming Washington summit. The summit will bring President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping together. Rubio spent much of the meeting reviewing summit details. He did not raise Trump's accusations of Chinese election interference. The omission suggests a diplomatic choice to keep talks on agenda. Both sides appear to prioritize the bilateral meeting over contentious issues. Observers will watch how the summit proceeds amid ongoing political tensions.
