Bitcoin surged above $111,000 after confirmation that President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet later this month. The move came as traders reacted to news of renewed U.S.–China dialogue, fueling optimism across global markets and lifting risk assets.
Trump–Xi Meeting Will Boost Market Optimism
The announcement was made by White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, who briefed reporters earlier today. The meeting between President Trump and President Xi is expected to take place Washington. This will mark their first in-person engagement since Trump’s return to office, following their phone conversation in June 2025.
During Thursday’s press briefing, she reaffirmed the administration’s economic stance amid rising global attention on the planned meeting. The remarks come thirteen days after Trump imposed a 100% tariff on Chinese imports, a move that triggered one of the largest crashes in crypto market history.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that President Trump “will not tolerate unfair trade practices.” Leavitt said the U.S. remains focused on ensuring fair economic competition and bringing critical manufacturing back to the United States.

The discussions are likely to cover trade imbalances, tariffs, supply-chain resilience, and technology cooperation. Observers believe that the two leaders could use the meeting to reset diplomatic channels after years of strained relations between Washington and Beijing. Combined with diplomatic optimism, the meeting announcement added momentum to risk assets that had traded cautiously earlier in the week.
