President Donald Trump meets Chinese President Xi Jinping amid a complex global landscape where US allies are less willing to align fully with Washington against China. Despite the US maintaining advantages through its alliances and technology control, confidence in the US as a reliable partner has dropped sharply in key allied countries like Canada and Germany. China has strengthened its global trade ties and leveraged critical resources like rare earth elements to counter US pressure, complicating efforts to isolate Beijing. The summit will focus on economic and diplomatic leverage points including Taiwan, trade, and Iran, testing whether the US can maintain a united front or if China’s growing influence will reshape global alliances.
