Xi says US-China ties should be strategically stable and reciprocal
Xi Jinping said he and Donald Trump agreed to add new substance to the US-China relationship. Trump said the two countries had made significant progress in meetings and that they would speak often. The remarks represent a departure from the frequent friction that has characterized much of Trump's political career.
Xi outlined a framework resting on mutual regard, equity and two-way benefit, while Trump said the two sides achieved notable movement in their talks and would maintain regular communication.
The report presents the exchange as a shift from the repeated clashes that marked much of Trump’s political career.
A steadier US-China tone may affect businesses, consumers, students and travelers who rely on trade, supply chains and cross-border exchange. If cooperation continues, uncertainty could ease, potentially lowering costs; if momentum fades, expectations may reverse. Markets and manufacturers could respond to signals of stability, while households may feel indirect effects through prices and jobs.
