USA und China: Trump und Xi bleiben vage – Details zum Handel am Montag?
Viel Show, wenig Substanzielles: Nach dem Gipfel zwischen US-Präsident Trump und Chinas Staatschef Xi liegen wenige konkrete Ergebnisse vor. Das nächste Treffen könnte schon bald anstehen.
On Sunday morning at around 3 AM China time, Xi Jinping, China's State and Party leader, and Donald Trump, the US President, were already on their way to Atlanta in Georgia, the US state. Xi had promised Trump that he would lend the two panda bears to the zoo in Atlanta as part of a ten-year lease, according to the Chinese state news agency Xinhua.
This was one of the few concrete results of the summit between Xi and Trump, which ended on Friday. Criticism followed the summit, both from Democrats and within Trump's own camp, as little substance was clarified during the meeting and the focus was on the show. Expectations for the summit were already low beforehand, despite the urgent topics that both leaders needed to address: the trade war between the two countries, the wars in Iran and Ukraine, security rules for the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and the Taiwan issue.
Only vague announcements were made initially, and the US government will provide more details on Monday. No press conference was held after the summit, and several US Democrats criticized the summit in a joint statement, stating that instead of addressing China's unfair trade practices, technology theft, complicity in attacks on their troops, or the economic and military aggression against their allies, President Trump opted for the spectacular over the substantive.
