Trump and Xi end summit with stability pledge, modest progress on disputes

President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping concluded a three-day summit Friday with tea at the White House and a National Archives tour, pledging stability but announcing few concrete breakthroughs on trade, Taiwan, or AI. Trump claimed "tremendous strides" and said US farmers would benefit, while US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said details of limited agreements, including exemptions for agricultural goods and medical devices, would be released Monday. Xi pressed Trump on Taiwan, urging prudent handling of the issue. Xi invited Trump to visit China in November and meet again at December's G20 summit, calling the relationship one of "strategic stability." Critics questioned the lack of concessions, and analysts warned Beijing may view the current pause on Taiwan arms sales as a new baseline.
