U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping concluded a high-stakes summit in Beijing aimed at stabilizing relations between the two superpowers.
While the visit featured grand pageantry and a rare tour of the Zhongnanhai compound, it yielded few concrete agreements on major points of friction. The leaders failed to reach a consensus on China's support for Iran or the ongoing tensions over Taiwan, which Xi warned could lead to direct conflict. Trump touted new trade deals for American exports, but experts argue these moves do little to address long-term competition in artificial intelligence and technology.
Negotiators from both sides are expected to continue technical talks throughout the year to prevent current disagreements from escalating into an economic war.
