Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Trump and Xi met, had tea, and announced trade deals. The US business leaders who traveled with Trump met with Premier Li Qiang to discuss economic and trade cooperation. China agreed to order 200 Boeing jets. The White House and Chinese Embassy did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump said China was interested in investing “hundreds of billions of dollars” alongside American business leaders. The meeting was a familiar ritual in the ongoing trade negotiations between the two countries.
And once again, the details of the deals were left unexplained, leaving room for interpretation.
