China's Xi Jinping says he expects to meet Trump 2 more times this year

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump is taking Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the National Archives on Friday, showing off the sacred texts of U.S. democracy to the leader of the world’s most powerful communist country to cap off a three-day state visit criticized for being heavy on pomp and light on substance. Xi is expected to depart Washington after touring the nation's vault of records, where the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights are held. The two leaders have made a show of working to preserve harmony between the world's two largest economies, though there were no major breakthroughs on issues such as trade or the safety of artificial intelligence. Xi said he expects to meet Trump two more times this year. Xi extended an invite for Trump and his wife, Melania, to go to the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen, China, in November. He noted that they could meet again a month later at the G20 summit at the Trump National Doral Miami golf club in Florida. “We do welcome Mr. President and the first lady to visit China,

Details on US, China trade talks to come on Monday, says Greer

WASHINGTON — The United States is expected to release details on the outcome of trade negotiations with China on Monday, U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said on Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House on Thursday but there was little sign of a breakthrough on a host of sensitive issues. "We're in a managed trade situation ... we've had progress, and we will release on Monday, I think, a lot more details about what we've accomplished over the past few weeks in negotiating with the Chinese," he told CNBC. The U.S. has agreed with China on exempting some key goods from arguments over trade, he said. The U.S. would send agricultural products and medical devices "and we're getting from them, you know, consumer goods and other things that are non-sensitive," he added. "We've actually reached agreement with the Chinese on a number of these things in areas where, you know if we have trade disputes in the future or if there are tariff measures in the future, we just leave those things to the side." Greer also said that the current tal

Iran proposes deal to reopen Strait of Hormuz in 7 days if US meets its conditions

Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume talks on its nuclear program in seven days if the United States lifts its naval blockade of Iranian ports, waives sanctions on Iranian oil sales and observes a ceasefire that would include Lebanon. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi detailed the proposal in a private gathering on Thursday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly in New York, according to one attendee. Trita Parsi, executive vice president of the Quincy Institute think tank, said Araghchi suggested that a speedy agreement would help U.S. President Donald Trump ahead of November's midterm elections. The arrangement would also relieve enormous economic pressure on Tehran as the U.S. piles on additional sanctions. Iran's disruption of the strait — through which a fifth of the world's traded oil and gas transited before the war — has emerged as its main point of leverage. The effects have been felt far beyond the Middle East. There was no immediate comment from Iran's U.N. mission or other Iranian officials. A person familiar with the matter, speaking on

SK Hynix's Solidigm weighs IPO that could value unit at up to $150 billion, sources say

NEW YORK — Chipmaker SK Hynix's Solidigm is considering an initial public offering as early as next year that could value the U.S. subsidiary at up to $150 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter. Solidigm held pitch meetings this week with investment banks competing for roles on the IPO, in a process known as a "bake-off," one of the people and a fourth person said, marking a concrete step toward what could become the largest-ever U.S. semiconductor listing. The company could raise $15 billion in the IPO, the three people said, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential matters. The plans, including the size of deal and timing, remain at an early stage and could change depending on market conditions, they added. The listing would rank as one of the largest semiconductor IPOs on record and could provide a standalone valuation for a business that has become a key part of SK Hynix's storage portfolio. It would also seek to tap strong investor demand for companies tied to artificial intelligence infrastructure, which has fuelled gains in semiconductor

Korean believed among 7 named in Cornell lawsuit alleging drugging, sexual assault

SEATTLE — A student believed to be Korean is among seven current and former Cornell University students named as defendants in a sexual assault lawsuit involving disturbing allegations that have drawn growing attention across the U.S. and within the Korean American community. A former student at the Ivy League university, identified as Jane Doe, filed the lawsuit this month in New York, alleging that she was pressured into taking a substance described as ketamine and sexually assaulted by multiple members of the Chi Phi fraternity at its house in October 2024, according to the Cornell Daily Sun. The complaint names seven students, including Winston Lee, and brings sexual assault and other claims against them. The allegations have not been proven in court, and an attorney representing one of the defendants has denied the allegations against his client. The lawsuit has drawn attention beyond the Cornell campus, with U.S. media outlets reporting on the case and Cornell’s social media accounts drawing a flood of comments about the allegations. The case has also surfaced on Korean Americ
