AI Summary (NQ-processed)

US President Trump is scheduled to visit Beijing in mid-May, with trade and economic issues set as the focus for the Trump-Xi meeting, hoping to extend the trade truce for another year. US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated at a think tank seminar that US-China economic and trade relations are stable, but the US must protect its national and economic security, continuing to impose tariffs. He emphasized this is not to confront China but to address the US's internal trade deficit. Greer suggested establishing an official US-China Board of Trade to handle non-sensitive goods trade and investment issues, hoping rare earth discussions can be resolved at the ministerial level.
