US and China: Trump and Xi remain vague - trade details on Monday?
Much show, little substance: Following the summit between US President Trump and Chinese President Xi, there are few concrete results. The next meeting could be just around the corner.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump met in the US, with one of the few concrete outcomes being an agreement to lend two pandas, Ping Ping and Fu Shuang, to the Atlanta zoo for 10 years. The meeting, which ended on Friday, was criticised by Democrats and some in Trump's own party for lacking substance, with issues like trade, Iran, Ukraine, and Taiwan left largely unaddressed.
The US government will release further details on Monday, but a joint statement by US Democrats described the summit as "without result". China and the US did agree to work on certain trade issues, including China importing at least 10 million tonnes of US coal in 2027 and 2028.
