  • Discussing trade, artificial intelligence, and Taiwan, Xi noted the two sides reached a "common understanding on many issues" despite major differences remaining between Washington and Beijing.
  • Xi warned against the "Thucydides trap," the idea that a rising power challenging an established one can lead to war, arguing that conflict between the two nations is not inevitable.
  • Following the talks, Xi and his wife are scheduled to join Trump and Melania Trump for private tea Friday, then tour the National Archives before heading home to China.
