Donald Trump at Archives with Xi says "artifacts testifying to the long and cherished relationship"
“artifacts testifying to the long and cherished relationship”
Reported September 25, 2026 by al-monitor.com. Checked word for word against that report.
President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded a three-day Washington summit Friday with tea at the White House and a tour of the National Archives, where Trump had said in welcoming remarks that the visit would highlight the two countries' relationship. The summit emphasized ceremony and produced little concrete economic progress. Trump said farmers and ranchers were gaining more access to the Chinese market, and both leaders said artificial intelligence could be a subject for joint work. U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CNBC that details of the limited trade deals, including exemptions for some agricultural, medical and consumer goods, were due Monday. Xi also raised Taiwan with Trump during the visit, and Senate Democrats said the summit fell short, arguing that Trump did not win significant concessions from Beijing on trade, security, AI, or human rights.
