Xi Praises 'Sincere and Deep' Talks with Trump

Chinese President Xi Jinping described his talks with US President Donald Trump as sincere and deep, saying the sides reached mutual understanding on many issues. He made the remarks at a White House dinner during his three-day state visit to the US. Xi arrived in the US on September 23, with talks held on September 24. According to Xinhua, discussions covered Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Korean Peninsula. Trump called the meeting excellent. A concrete outcome was extending the US-China trade truce for two months. The extension runs until January 10, 2027, meaning the current trade arrangement pause remains fixed until that date rather than being open-ended. Xi said the talks enriched constructive and stable strategic relations between the two countries.
