  "account": "Beijing and Washington agreed on steps to enhance dialogue on AI safety and military collaboration during their summit, according to China's Foreign Ministry. The two sides also pledged to reduce tariffs on approximately $30 billion (€26.3 billion) of non-essential goods, which includes exports like agricultural products and holiday decorations. Following the three-day summit, US President Donald Trump described the meeting as a success based on friendship, strength, and mutual benefit. Chinese President Xi Jinping, however, mentioned the agreement centered on strategic stability based on respect, fairness, and reciprocity. The countries aim to improve military communication channels and will hold a new AI-focused dialogue in November. Beijing also plans to increase cooperation on military crisis communications without disclosing specifics. The US Trade Representative, Scott Bessent, confirmed that the trade truce, initially set to expire on November 10, will remain in effect until January. Additionally, the two nations agreed to address concerns about rare earths supply, with China promising to import at least 10 million metric tons of coal from the US in 2027 and 2028, and the US agreeing to resume shipments. The Iran issue was also part of the discussions; both sides agreed that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons, and no country should impose transit tolls on international waterways. Trump and Xi are scheduled to meet twice more before the year ends, with Trump attending the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in China and Xi returning to the US for a G20 summit hosted at Trump's National Doral Miami golf club.",
