Rubio Meets China’s Wang Yi in Munich Ahead of Possible Trump-Xi Summit
The meeting addressed trade, Taiwan, and espionage amid tariff tensions as Washington and Beijing prepare for President Trump's April visit to China, Rubio's office said.
- On February 13, 2026, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference as both prepared for President Donald Trump's April visit to China.
- Rubio and Wang's prior contacts included a July meeting in Malaysia and several phone calls, amid a tariffs standoff between Washington and Beijing since Mr. Trump returned to power last year.
- Rubio's team said the talks lasted about one hour at a major hotel in the Bavarian capital, with Rubio and Wang Yi shaking hands but not speaking to reporters.
- Security concerns shadowed the meeting given a new recruitment video and Beijing's response, as the CIA released a Chinese-language video Thursday and Beijing vowed Friday to take `all necessary measures` against espionage.
- Military activity and Xi's warning position Taiwan as the summit's focal point, with China holding late-December war games and Xi calling Taiwan the `most important` issue, urging `extreme caution` on arms sales.
