US President Donald Trump departed China after two days of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, leaving with little to show for the summit.
According to reports, Trump and Xi met on September 20-21 in a meeting that aimed to address various issues between the two nations. The talks reportedly focused on trade, security, and other bilateral matters.
The New York Times reported that Trump’s “learning curve” on China appears to have ended with conciliation at the summit. WSJ stated that five key takeaways from the meeting can be identified.
In a statement, Fox News said that Trump left China with breakthroughs but also unfinished business on Xi’s biggest fights. The Financial Times noted that the outcome of the talks was not publicly disclosed.
The Washington Post reported that the summit yielded Xi’s goal – equal footing with the US in terms of diplomatic influence and economic power.
Details of the agreements reached during the talks are not yet available, as they have not been officially confirmed by either side.
