Trump says he will meet Xi in China in November
Trump said the two countries also extended a short-term trade truce after talks that produced no major breakthroughs on Taiwan, AI or trade.
On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded his three-day state visit to Washington, announcing plans to meet President Donald Trump in November at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China and in December at the G20 in Florida.
Critics described the summit as heavy on pomp but light on substance, with Jeff Moon, former U.S. trade official, arguing the meeting produced few tangible results beyond an extended trade truce until January.
At the National Archives on Friday, Trump showed Xi historical documents including the Declaration of Independence and Constitution; Trump noted the age comparison, stating, "Ours goes 250 years, which is great, and we're proud of it."
The two leaders met privately for 90 minutes on Thursday discussing the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Korean Peninsula; Trump confirmed they reached a "new joint arrangement" on trade.
Doubling face-to-face meetings between the world's two largest economies in 2026, the upcoming summits aim to preserve harmony; Xi invited The Trumps to visit China, stating, "We do welcome Mr. President and the first lady to visit China.
Aggressed with all the pomp, the visit of the Chinese leader left no important advances in matters such as trade, where only a truce was extended, or artificial intelligence; they spoke about the Middle East and Taiwan
The White House on Friday (September 25) described the summit between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping as a historic meeting embodying "friendship, strength, and success," saying that Xi's state visit advanced U.S. economic interests and demonstrated the U.S.'s ability to conduct diplomacy based on its position of strength.
