Donald Trump hosted the Chinese leader in Washington from September 23 to September 25. While the leaders agreed to hold more high-level meetings and extended the existing detente by two months, there were few tangible outcomes regarding structural issues. The summit took place against the backdrop of conflicts in Ukraine and Iran, and a continuing trade dispute between the U.S. and China.
