US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met today in a high-stakes summit, their first face-to-face encounter in six years, and the first since Trump began his second term in office.
Officials from both sides said earlier this week that they had reached a “consensus to address their respective concerns.” Negotiators confirmed that a “framework” agreement had been established ahead of the meeting. Speaking optimistically, Trump said he expected a “great outcome for the world.”
