White House officials said no major announcements were expected from the meeting. In a statement announcing the timing of the summit, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said, “The two leaders discussed ways to responsibly manage the competition between the US and China, as well as ways to work together.” will do.”
“President Biden will make America’s intentions and priorities clear and our concerns clear,” he said. This will be the third meeting between the two leaders since February.
The meeting comes as the US and China vowed this week to step up their cooperation at UN climate talks in Glasgow, Scotland, and accelerate action to curb climate-damaging emissions.
