US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping finished a three-day summit in Washington on Friday. The visit included military ceremonies, marching bands, and formal welcomes at the White House. The two leaders talked about wars in Iran and Ukraine, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan, but reached few major agreements. Their main deal was a two-month extension of a trade agreement that was about to expire. China also agreed to buy large amounts of American farm products, including soybeans and pork, and a deal involving Boeing aircraft was announced. Trump called the summit "tremendous" and said the two countries had made "great strides." Xi said the two sides had added "new substance" to their relationship. On AI, Xi rejected the idea of a winner-takes-all competition, saying both countries should instead be "catching up with one another."
