Trump hails ‘amazing’ meeting with China’s Xi but no formal trade deal agreed
President Donald Trump has described his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping as “amazing” but stated that no formal trade deal was agreed upon during the discussions. The meeting took place on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Osaka, Japan.
Both leaders expressed positivity about the progress made in the negotiations to resolve the ongoing trade dispute between the two countries. Trump stated that the talks were “back on track” and that the US would not be imposing new tariffs on Chinese exports for the time being. He also mentioned that the US would allow American companies to continue to sell products to Chinese tech giant Huawei.
President Xi reiterated China’s stance on finding a mutually agreeable solution to the trade tensions. He stated that both countries “lose in confrontation” and that cooperation would benefit both parties.
Despite the optimism expressed by both leaders, no formal agreement was reached during the meeting. The broader issues related to intellectual property rights, technology transfer, and enforcement mechanisms still remain sticking points in the negotiations.
The outcome of the meeting suggests a temporary de-escalation of the trade tensions between the US and China but falls short of a comprehensive trade agreement.
