President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Beijing today.
“They discussed the war in Iran, global trade, and energy security.”
But as NPR's Tamariki reports, so far, the talks between the two leaders haven't yielded any significant progress. On Thursday, Trump and Xi held a bilateral meeting that, for a time, included CEOs from top U.S. corporations, then in the evening at a formal banquet, the two leaders toasted each other and the relationship between their nations.
Trump made clear, he wants this visit to be the start of a longer dialogue. Tonight, it is my honor to extend an invitation to you and Madame Peng to visit us at the White House, the September 24th.
Before Trump heads to the airport, the leaders are set to take a friendship photo and share
a bilateral teeth and lunch. No deals have been announced yet, but there's still time.

After three weeks of testimony wrapped, the judge told the jury all the pieces of the puzzle are now in the box. The puzzle Elon Musk wants them to solve did his fellow open AI co-founders abandon their duty to the non-profits mission while making themselves billionaires. Musk brought the lawsuit against open AI CEO Sam Altman and other co-founders saying they
stole a charity. They say they saved it. What this case doesn't address is that Musk just folded his own AI company XAI into SpaceX ahead of what could be the biggest IPO in history and open AI is buying a public offering of its own at a similarly high valuation.
