Trump hails ‘amazing’ meeting with China’s Xi but no formal trade deal agreed
In a highly anticipated meeting, President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan. The leaders engaged in discussions aimed at resolving the ongoing trade dispute between their two countries, which has been characterized by tit-for-tat tariffs affecting billions of dollars worth of goods.
Both leaders expressed positivity about the meeting, with Trump calling it “excellent” and “probably even better than expected.” He stated that the talks with Xi had been “far better than any of our previous meetings.” Trump further hailed the relationship between the U.S. and China as “very strong” and termed the meeting “amazing.”
However, despite the optimistic rhetoric, no formal trade agreement was reached during the discussions. Trump announced that the U.S. would not be imposing any further tariffs on Chinese goods for the time being and would allow American companies to continue selling products to Chinese tech giant Huawei. Xi, for his part, emphasized China’s desire for a stable relationship with the United States and reiterated his commitment to reforms that would address U.S. grievances related to intellectual property theft and forced technology transfers.
The lack of a concrete trade deal means that uncertainties surrounding the future of U.S.-China trade relations persist. Both leaders have cited progress in the talks, but significant issues remain unresolved.
While the meeting between Trump and Xi has been portrayed positively by both sides, the absence of a formal agreement leaves room for continued speculation and volatility in the global economy.
