The U.S. and China extended their retaliatory tariff truce from November to January, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, and tacitly put off a dispute over China’s stricter rare-earth export controls, due to start in November.
Xi announced that China would invite 100,000 American students over the next five years and send two pandas to the Atlanta Zoo. Trump said farmers would be pleased with the visit’s results but gave no details; the leaders agreed to revisit AI at November’s APEC meeting in Shenzhen.
Hudson Institute senior fellow Miles Yu called the visit “more optics than substance,” saying the countries followed their familiar pattern of agreeing to disagree.
