Two issues that dominate the U.S.-China economic relationship, tariffs and supply chain woes, will take a backseat Monday to more pressing security concerns when President Joe Biden holds a virtual summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Instead, rising tensions between mainland China and Taiwan are likely to be a priority for the United States.
“I do not expect tariffs to be something that will be on the agenda for tomorrow night,” a senior Biden administration official told reporters Sunday during a background briefing on the highly anticipated video call.
