US President Donald Trump will host Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week in Washington, with AI, trade and Taiwan expected to be on the agenda for the leaders of the global superpowers.

Xi will be greeted personally by Trump at Andrews Air Force Base on the eve of a White House state dinner and a military flyover.

The three-day trip marks Xi's first state visit to the US since 2015 and his third meeting with Trump in the past year.

Adding to the high-stakes state visit, a US-China trade agreement reached last year is set to expire in November.
