US says China trade truce extended as Trump welcomes Xi in first visit of three years
Xi's visit will include a statedinner with tech luminaries, a White House military ceremony including jet flyovers, and a visit to the National Archives.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington for a three-day visit, marking the first such meeting between a US president and a foreign leader at Joint Base Andrews in nearly three years. The trip aimed to navigate strained relations between the two superpowers, which are grappling with issues such as trade, technology, Taiwan, and Iran.
Although neither side expected major breakthroughs, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed they had reached an agreement to extend the 11-month trade truce until January 10, extending it from its original expiration date of November 10. Despite lingering differences, both leaders emphasized the need for cooperation, with Trump seeking the release of detained Americans and others in China, and potential agreements on AI, drug trafficking, and military-to-military dialogue.
The visit also included a state dinner with prominent tech figures, showcasing a diplomatic gesture in the face of deep-seated disagreements.
