US President Donald Trump received Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House, and the two countries agreed to extend their trade truce until January, according to Perfil. The meeting took place in the United States, and the report was published on Wednesday, September 23, 2026.
Trump described the summit as a "great meeting," Filo News reported. Xi, for his part, called for a relationship between the two nations that is "without conflict," according to Clarin.com.
Perfil also reported that Trump welcomed Xi with military honors at the White House, where the two leaders were set to discuss what were described as pressing issues. Clarin.com reported that the visit was a lavish affair, and that the dinner menu featured halibut and ice cream with an American presentation and Chinese influence.
The extension of the trade truce pushes the deadline between the world's two largest economies to January, giving both sides more time before the current arrangement lapses. The reports did not specify the terms of the extension or what would happen once the new deadline arrives.
What to watch next: whether the two governments announce further negotiations or a permanent agreement before the January deadline.
