What happened
High-level talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping took place in Beijing to discuss the ongoing U.S.-China trade truce. The truce was extended for another two months, though the pace of commitments remains uneven. The framework includes the resumption of purchases of U.S. soybeans, orders for Boeing aircraft, and access to rare earth elements.

Why it matters
The trade truce is underpinned by commitments regarding U.S. soybeans, orders for Boeing aircraft, and rare earth elements. Analysts note that the truce is moving fastest where it costs the least, suggesting a delicate balance of vulnerability between the two powers. The talks aim to keep commerce moving between the two major economies.
The talks follow meetings in May 2026 that reaffirmed Beijing's commitments to increase purchases of U.S. soybeans and buy 200 Boeing aircraft.
