US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping extended their trade truce by two months during Xi's White House visit, preserving lower tariff rates while leaving disputes over trade, technology, Taiwan, Chinese investment restrictions and rare-earth supplies unresolved. Trump welcomed Xi with unusually elaborate protocol and invoked the countries' World War II cooperation, while Xi said unavoidable competition between the two largest economies should remain within bounds and not become confrontation. Xi called for regular military dialogue, crisis-prevention mechanisms and cooperation on artificial intelligence, narcotics control, law enforcement and direct flights. He also proposed inviting 100,000 American youths to China over five years and said giant pandas Ping Ping and Fu Shuang would soon arrive at Zoo Atlanta. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said China had met its commitment to buy 25 million tons of soybeans but was behind on a $17 billion pledge for other agricultural products, while rare-earth deliveries were also falling short.
