US Trade Deals with China Yield Mixed Results According to Experts

May 16, 2026 • Google News World

US President Donald Trump met with Chinese President Xi Jinping at a summit in Beijing, where they discussed trade deals between the two countries. According to reports, Trump expressed optimism about the potential for new trade agreements with China.

Experts have stated that while Trump’s meeting with Xi was seen as an opportunity to negotiate new trade deals, there is no clear evidence of significant gains for the US. The details of the agreements reached during the summit are not yet publicly available.

In a separate report, it was noted that Trump’s approach to the talks was characterized by a “learning curve,” which ultimately resulted in conciliation with Xi. Another article suggested that Trump’s efforts were met with little resistance from China, and that he received what he wanted from the meeting.

A more recent analysis questioned whether any meaningful progress was made during the summit, given the lack of concrete details on the agreements reached.
