Trump and Xi Extend Trade Truce Amid Ongoing US-China Tensions in Washington Summit
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Washington for a three-day summit marked by elaborate ceremonies and discussions on trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and broader strategic rivalry. The leaders agreed to extend their existing trade truce by two months, providing temporary relief but leaving key issues like tariffs, rare-earth supplies, technology restrictions, and Taiwan unresolved. Both emphasized cooperation and managing competition, with plans for further meetings later in the year. The summit combined diplomatic pageantry with limited substantive breakthroughs.
