Speaker A:
Good morning.
Speaker A:
It's Haystack.
Speaker A:
And President Trump is headed to China for a high stakes meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Speaker A:
And Trump himself says it is going to be a wild one, which is honestly the most Trump way possible to describe what should be a diplomatic summit between the world's two largest superpowers.
Speaker A:
And the trip comes at a pretty tense moment globally.
Speaker A:
I mean, the US And China are fighting over trade, fighting over artificial intelligence, fighting a lot over Taiwan and tariffs, also technology restrictions.
Speaker A:
Then you've got all the ongoing instability with Iran and global supply chains.
Speaker A:
And so suddenly everyone is paying extra attention to this meeting.
Speaker A:
And it's kind of interesting because of the business angle.
Speaker A:
President Trump reportedly to bring along a massive group of American CEOs from Apple, Tesla, Goldman Sachs, Blackrock.
Speaker B:
So it's not just politics, it's geopolitical.
Speaker A:
Shark tank China is thought to roll out the full red carpet treatment for the visit.
Speaker A:
Big ceremonies, giant state dinner, military honors.
Speaker B:
China and the United States both want.
Speaker A:
To look strong and stable, even if nobody expects some kind of magical breakthrough from this meeting.
Speaker A:
But the truth is, when you strip all the BS away, is that both sides probably need each other more than they would ever publicly admit.
Speaker A:
I mean, America needs the manufacturing and the rare earth minerals.
Speaker A:
China needs our markets and our economic stability.
Speaker A:
And if this summit goes badly, your next iPhone could cost the same as a used fishing boat.
Speaker B:
So you better hope it goes well.
Speaker A:
Actually.
Speaker B:
Oh, hang on a second.
Speaker A:
Actually, it looks like.
Speaker A:
Looks like we've got a press conference coming up now with President Xi, and believe it or not, I can translate.
Speaker A:
Let's see, let's see what's going on here.
Speaker B:
I am Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Speaker B:
I am honored to welcome President Trump for a historic state.
Speaker B:
We are holding a state dinner featuring traditional Chinese food.
Speaker B:
But don't worry, we will get a bucket of KFC for Mr. Trump.
Speaker B:
He will also tour the Great Wall of China even though he will claim that his wall is even greater.
Speaker B:
Sure thing.
Speaker B:
Whatever.
Speaker B:
We will also visit a factory where all his MAGA hats are manufactured.
Speaker B:
It is our hope that we can foster goodwill and cooperation between our nations.
Speaker B:
And if not, we won't loan you any more money or stock your dollar stores with cheap crap.
