Overview
- Following Thursday’s pageantry in Beijing, Xi delivered a closed‑door warning that mishandling Taiwan could lead to “clashes and even conflicts,” according to China’s readout.
- A brief White House summary said both leaders want to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the vital oil corridor closed by the Iran war, and discussed wider market access and potential Chinese purchases.
- Officials described economic steps as provisional, with expected buys of soybeans and other goods and proposed bodies like a U.S.-China Board of Trade or AI deconfliction channels still not finalized.
- Trump told Fox News that China agreed to order 200 Boeing jets, a figure below earlier market chatter about a larger deal and one that drew a muted reaction.
- A second meeting is set for Friday before Trump departs, with U.S. officials saying Taiwan policy is unchanged as both sides try to steady the 2025 trade truce and reduce risk around tech and security.
