Trump-Xi Beijing Summit After 9 Years Ends Without Joint Statement

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a summit in Beijing, China, on the 14th local time to discuss bilateral relations, the Taiwan issue and global affairs. It was the first meeting between the two leaders in nine years, drawing attention as a key diplomatic moment for the direction of U.S.-China relations. The two sides were reported to have voiced similar positions on several global issues, but the meeting produced no concrete agreement or joint statement. As a result, the talks carried significance as a resumption of dialogue and a review of pending issues, but did not lead to a so-called grand bargain. Source: mk.co.kr
