Trump Departs After High-Stakes Summit With Xi

“President Trump left Beijing on board Air Force One, concluding a summit in which he worked to gloss over his differences with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, but which yielded few concrete changes to the two superpowers’ shaky relationship,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

New York Times: “The Trump-Xi summit, the first U.S. presidential visit to China in nearly a decade, was a test of whether the détente between the two nations would continue. It was heavy on public praise and pleasantries. At a lavish state banquet on Thursday evening, Mr. Trump invited Mr. Xi to visit the White House in September.”
