The US and China praised the talks as successful, but key agreements remain unclear.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping have concluded a high-stakes two-day summit in Beijing, with both sides describing the meeting as productive despite the absence of confirmed trade deals.
Trump said the talks produced “fantastic trade deals” and claimed China agreed to buy 200 Boeing aircraft, with a possible order for 750 more planes. He also said Beijing would purchase billions of dollars worth of American soybeans. However, Chinese officials have not publicly confirmed the agreements.
Trade, artificial intelligence, tariffs, Taiwan, and the Iran conflict dominated discussions during the summit. The US delegation included top business leaders from companies such as Tesla, Nvidia, Boeing, and Apple.
The White House said both countries agreed to create a new “Board of Trade” aimed at managing economic relations without reopening tariff negotiations. Trump later revealed that tariffs were not directly discussed during his meeting with Xi.
China described the summit as “historic and landmark,” while stressing that cooperation between both nations should remain based on mutual benefit and stability.
Taiwan also emerged as a major issue during the talks. Xi warned that mishandling the Taiwan question could push both countries toward conflict, calling it the most sensitive issue in US-China relations.
The summit comes as Washington and Beijing attempt to stabilize relations after years of tariff battles, technology restrictions, and growing geopolitical tensions.
Both sides are expected to continue negotiations ahead of a second summit planned for September at the White House.
