Trump leaves Beijing with few wins, many warm words for Xi
"It's been an incredible visit. I think a lot of good has come of it," Trump told Xi at their final meeting.
Assessment
The visit produced little in the way of concrete outcomes, despite the president's upbeat framing. The gap between warm public statements and the absence of announced agreements leaves the relationship's trajectory uncertain. The next test will be whether any of the goodwill translates into action on trade or North Korea.
