Trump and Xi hold summit in Beijing covering trade, Iran, and Taiwan
U.S. President Donald Trump visited Beijing for a multi-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, their first such meeting on Chinese soil in nearly nine years. The talks covered trade stabilization, the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict, and Taiwan, with Xi warning that mishandling Taiwan could create a 'highly dangerous situation.' The summit produced modest deliverables including an expected extension of the trade truce, pledges of agricultural and Boeing aircraft purchases, and discussions about lifting sanctions on Chinese companies buying Iranian oil, but no major breakthroughs.
