2:38Now PlayingPresident Donald Trump was greeted with pomp and pageantry when he arrived in Beijing on Wednesday for a high-stakes summit with America's chief global competitor.
During the two-day visit, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to hold bilateral talks and have a crucial one-on-one meeting.
The two leaders are expected to discuss trade, U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and Iran.
The summit comes as the war with Iran, an ally of China, has effectively led to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, causing energy prices to rise.
PBS News' Nick Schifrin reports from Beijing.
