President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a White House state dinner Thursday after Oval Office talks. Xi said they had reached a “common understanding on many issues,” but did not detail the issues or say whether they struck any deals.
The meeting came as the U.S. and China extended their tariff truce for two months, forestalling another trade war for now, though no broader trade deal had been reached. They are also rivals over advanced AI; Iran, Ukraine and Taiwan were among other points of tension.
