Trump and Xi concluded a two-day summit at the White House, focusing on strategic stability between the US and China. The meeting followed a trade war that ended with a US climbdown on tariffs.
The leaders attended a state dinner with tech CEOs and discussed issues including Taiwan, with Xi urging the US to oppose 'Taiwan independence.' Trump invited guests to tour a new ballroom, highlighting infrastructure projects.
Xi emphasized the intertwined interests of the two nations, calling for a 'healthy' competition and regular military dialogue. Both leaders sought to move past the trade war, though no significant progress on key issues was achieved.
The summit reflected a shift in power balance, with Xi adopting a more cautious approach compared to Trump's personal relationship-focused rhetoric.
