Trump-Xi summit produces few breakthroughs, only a two-month trade truce extension

Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, D.C., last Wednesday to Friday, Xi's second state visit since 2015, with a state dinner attended by over 100 people. The summit yielded few breakthroughs beyond a shorter-than-expected two-month trade truce extension, and the two sides issued separate statements rather than a joint one. Daniel Kritenbrink of The Asia Group warned the fragile detente is unsustainable without more tangible outcomes, and the leaders plan two more meetings this year.
