Donald Trump is scheduled to visit China for a summit with Xi Jinping around May 14-15, 2026. This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump and Xi Jinping kiss at any point during this summit. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No." Video or photographic evidence of the kiss must be released within this market’s time frame to qualify. A qualifying kiss is defined as an in-person greeting or gesture involving the lips of one individual touching another individual. A qualifying kiss need not be reciprocal; a kiss on the cheek or hand from either party will qualify. The summit begins when Donald Trump enters the terrestrial or maritime territory of China. The summit ends once Donald Trump physically departs from Chinese territory. This market may resolve once Donald Trump physically departs from Chinese territory at the end of the summit. If Donald Trump does not physically enter the terrestrial or maritime territory of China by May 22, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”. The resolution source will be based on photographic/video footage.Trader consensus prices "No" at 99.3% for Trump and Xi Jinping kissing at their Beijing summit, driven by strict diplomatic protocols governing US-China leader interactions, which historically limit greetings to formal handshakes amid cultural restraint in Chinese statecraft and no precedent for physical affection between the two presidents. President Trump arrived in Beijing on May 13, 2026, for the May 14-15 bilateral meetings focused on Iran war escalation, Taiwan status, trade tensions, and nuclear issues, with live coverage emphasizing substantive diplomacy over personal gestures. Realistic shifts could stem from an impromptu cheek kiss captured on video during the state visit, though institutional norms and the summit's high-stakes agenda make this highly improbable.
