Rubio, a prominent voice on foreign policy within the Republican Party, described the diplomatic talks as “constructive” and emphasized that both sides appeared open to reopening channels of communication. “While nothing is confirmed, I believe a meeting between Trump and Xi could be on the horizon if conditions continue to improve,” he told reporters.
The discussion reportedly centered around trade tensions, security concerns in the Asia-Pacific region, and the future of U.S.-China relations should Trump return to office. Sources familiar with the meeting said China is showing renewed interest in stabilizing ties with key U.S. figures as part of its broader geopolitical strategy.
Speculation over a potential Xi-Trump summit has grown in recent weeks as Trump continues to lead in several U.S. election polls. Analysts suggest Beijing may be preparing for a possible Trump presidency by reviving informal diplomatic engagement.
The Chinese embassy has not issued an official statement regarding the meeting, but insiders indicate that the visit was part of a quiet diplomatic push aimed at key U.S. lawmakers and former administration officials.
