AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoTrump-Xi Aftermath: Trump left Beijing with “stability” and a few measurable pledges, but the big unresolved flashpoints stayed put—especially Taiwan and Iran. Trump claimed Xi agreed Iran should reopen the Strait of Hormuz, yet China didn’t confirm; meanwhile, Trump also framed Taiwan arms as a “negotiating chip,” alarming Taipei and raising the stakes for any next U.S. decision. Trade Reset: China says the summit produced “preliminary” steps: reciprocal tariff cuts via new trade and investment councils, plus farm access talks and aircraft cooperation. Aviation Deal: Trump says China agreed to buy 200 Boeing jets, with potential to rise to 750; Boeing calls it an initial commitment. Next Wave of Diplomacy: Putin is set to visit China May 19–20, days after Trump, signaling a fast-moving Russia–China refresh. Local Enforcement: Separate from the summit, the Philippines launched inquests after a raid on a steel plant, probing alleged immigration, labor, safety, and environmental violations involving Chinese workers.
