During remarks at the White House state dinner, Chinese President Xi Jinping said he and President Trump had "sincere and in-depth exchanges" earlier in the day, and "reached common understanding on many issues." "This has added new substance to the constructive China-U.S. relationship of strategic stability," Xi said through a translator. Xi did not specify what the two leaders discussed or whether they struck any new agreements, but trade and AI were widely believed to be agenda items. The U.S. and China agreed earlier this week to extend a truce on tariffs for two months, forestalling another trade war for now, though the two countries have not struck a broader deal. The two sides are also rivals on advanced AI, with Mr. Trump arguing for light regulations in order to outpace China. Other major pressure points include China's relationships with Iran and Russia and the future of Taiwan. Xi briefly recounted the history of U.S.-China ties. He pointed to President George Washington's purchase of Chinese porcelain , the two countries' cooperation during World War II and President Richard Nixon's moves to normalize relations with the People's Republic of China. He said the U.S. and China have come to "another historic juncture," and argued the two countries' ambitions "can surely be mutually reinforcing."
