Trump, Xi Conclude Beijing Summit With Aircraft Purchase Agreement

President Donald Trump concluded two days of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing Friday, marking his first visit to the capital in nearly a decade. The summit produced a framework agreement on strategic stability spanning three years, according to Chinese state media. Trump announced China will purchase 200 Boeing aircraft during an interview with Fox News. The meetings encompassed discussions on Iran, Taiwan, trade and oil. A state dinner and ceremonial proceedings marked the high-level engagement. Both leaders indicated further negotiations lie ahead, with Trump inviting Xi to visit the White House on September 24. China has not yet confirmed acceptance of the invitation. Analysts cautioned that significant trade deals remain preliminary, with additional discussions expected before any formal agreements materialize.
