President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Washington on Sept. 24 for their second face-to-face meeting of 2026, with discussions focused on stabilizing the relationship amid ongoing tensions over tariffs, export controls and critical minerals.

Join CTA for a member-only discussion recapping the outcomes of the meeting and what they mean for the consumer technology industry. This discussion will explore:

  • What was — and wasn't — agreed to on tariffs, the Board of Trade and Board of Investment

  • How the outcomes affect technology supply chains, the business environment and the future of U.S-China relations.

  • What's next for critical minerals and rare earth dependencies as Beijing's export control suspension nears its Nov. 10 deadline

  • What to watch heading into potential further engagement at the November APEC Summit and December G20 Leaders' Summit.

This conversation will help members understand the risks, signals and decisions shaping the next phase of U.S.-China relations and global technology markets, with particular relevance for those working in trade, government affairs, supply chain, operations, strategy and business development.
