President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded Xi’s three-day Washington state visit with plans for further meetings at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in Shenzhen in November and the Group of 20 summit at Trump National Doral Miami in December. Washington and Beijing extended their tariff truce from Nov. 10 to Jan. 10, but announced no major breakthroughs on trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, critical minerals, advanced semiconductors, agriculture, Iran or Americans detained in China. Xi publicly urged Trump to adopt a position opposing Taiwan independence, a formulation that goes beyond Washington’s longstanding statement that it does not support independence. Trump gave Xi an unusually elaborate welcome, including a Joint Base Andrews reception, a military choir performance, White House tours and a state dinner attended by business leaders and Washington figures. Republican lawmakers criticized the reception and urged Trump to confront Beijing over alleged support for Iran. David Perdue, the U.S. ambassador to China, said Trump challenged Xi over alleged Chinese assistance to Iran and that Beijing committed not to engage in such support, while Trump and Xi offered few public details about their discussions. On artificial intelligence, Trump promoted the term “super intelligence,” while Chinese state media said Xi emphasized human control and a people-centered approach.
