Trump and Xi Share Symbolism and Handshake at Beijing Summit

While both leaders praised the discussions—Trump calling them 'incredible' and Xi hailing a 'new era'—their readouts differed sharply: the U.S. emphasized opposition to Iran's nuclear ambitions and Strait of Hormuz stability, while China focused on Taiwan warnings. Trade nods included potential U.S. soybeans, Boeing jets, and oil, but no firm deals emerged amid tight U.S. security measures.
