Trump and Xi Meet in Washington as Trade Truce Extended Two Months

usnews.com —

President Donald Trump and China's Xi Jinping meet Thursday at the White House, extending a trade truce by two months while facing disputes over Iran, Taiwan arms sales, and AI chip export restrictions. Both leaders believe time favors their side, with Trump citing U.S. economic growth and Xi viewing America as declining. The two sides agreed Wednesday to extend the truce expiring Nov. 10, though China sought extension until 2029 and U.S. officials preferred three to six months. A breakthrough on Iran appears unlikely, as Beijing condemns U.S. military actions. Xi will press Trump to permanently halt Taiwan arms sales, while Trump seeks Xi's attendance at December's G20 summit in Florida.
