Donald Trump and Xi Jinping sought more stable US-China relations at a White House meeting, but disputes involving Iran, Taiwan and trade remained unresolved, according to Al Jazeera. The supplied material does not detail agreements, concessions or the leaders’ full statements.

Donald Trump and Xi Jinping met at the White House in an effort to establish more stable relations between the United States and China, Al Jazeera reports. The summit did not settle differences over Iran, Taiwan and trade, according to the supplied summary. Those issues remained among the central areas of disagreement after the leaders’ discussions.

The source material does not specify whether the two governments reached understandings on any of the disputes. It also does not provide details of the meeting’s agenda, the duration of the talks or the positions presented by either leader. The report frames the meeting as an attempt to stabilise ties rather than a resolution of the countries’ differences.

No further reaction from either government is included in the available text.
