Trump and Xi Extend Trade Truce After Rare Airport Welcome

jn.pt (Portuguese) —

President Trump gave Chinese President Xi Jinping a rare airport welcome at Joint Base Andrews, and the two nations extended their trade truce until January 10th. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the extension of the "Busan Agreement" on Fox News. The reception included a military band, an overflight of B-1 bombers, and a display of F-22 and F-16 fighter jets, which Trump appeared to react to with grimaces. Xi's three-day visit includes a state banquet and a trip to the National Archives, though no Chinese CEOs are in his delegation. The truce extension provides more time to potentially reduce tariffs on $30 billion in non-sensitive goods. This airport welcome is a rare honor, previously reserved for figures like Khrushchev and Macmillan, and was not extended to Trump during his May visit to Beijing.
