US, China extend trade truce by two months after Xi's Washington visit

2026-09-23 10:21 UTC – 2026-09-25 10:00 UTC

Neutral summary

The United States and China extended their trade truce by two months following talks between President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington, with the truce due to expire on November 10, according to N1 Srbija and Danas. Xi's visit, which began on September 23, featured an unusually lavish welcome: Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at the plane's steps at Andrews Air Force Base — the first such gesture since 1962, per the Financial Times — and presented him with a bald eagle sculpture created with Melania Trump's involvement. At the White House state dinner, Xi called on the US and China to “act as responsible major powers” and declared a new stage in bilateral relations. The leaders discussed trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan and the war in Ukraine. Western media, including Rzeczpospolita and France 24, noted that the summit's impressive staging was not matched by substantive agreements; Democratic lawmakers criticized Trump for letting pageantry overshadow pressing issues. In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the US-China contact extremely important and said Russia is closely watching its development.
