President Donald Trump’s expected meeting with Xi Jinping in Washington on September 24 occurs against a backdrop of longstanding U.S. policy that acknowledges Beijing’s position on Taiwan without endorsing sovereignty claims. Administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have repeatedly stated after the May summit and in recent briefings that policy remains unchanged, while Trump’s references to arms sales as a negotiating chip have been followed by clarifications of continuity. Traders assign 98% probability to “No” because any formal endorsement would mark a sharp departure from decades of practice, invite strong domestic and allied opposition, and contradict the administration’s own public messaging. Even amid transactional summit dynamics, such a reversal lacks precedent and would require overcoming significant structural and political barriers.

Xi Jinping is scheduled to begin a state visit to the United States around September 24, 2026, where he will be received by Donald Trump at the White House.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump publicly endorses the People's Republic of China's claim of sovereignty over Taiwan by the end of this summit. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
To qualify, Trump must make an explicit public statement affirming that Taiwan is part of China, that China has sovereignty over Taiwan, or that the United States supports China's claim to Taiwan.
Restating the long-standing United States "One China policy", acknowledging that China holds such a position, noting that the United States does not support Taiwanese independence, or declining to say whether the United States would defend Taiwan will not qualify, as none of these constitutes an endorsement of China's claim.
Any written, verbal, or recorded public statement by Trump qualifies. A statement issued jointly by the United States and China will qualify if Trump personally endorses it.
The summit will be considered to have ended at the end of the calendar day (ET) on which Xi Jinping physically departs from United States territory. No meetings, events, or statements which occur after this time will be considered.
If Xi Jinping does not physically enter the terrestrial or maritime territory of the United States by October 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
