President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping concluded a state visit in Washington, D.C., characterized by high-profile ceremony but few public policy breakthroughs. While the leaders discussed trade and technology, the contentious issue of Taiwan was reportedly addressed only in private, leaving the status of U.S.-China relations regarding the island unchanged. Observers are now watching for future meetings between the two leaders, which both sides confirmed will occur before the end of the year.
