Following summit talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping, US President Donald Trump announced successful trade agreements, including an order for 200 Boeing jets and exports of agriculture and energy worth $30 billion. However, markets reacted lukewarmly as details were scarce and the aircraft order fell short of expectations. Meanwhile, Beijing issued strong statements criticizing the US war with Iran and its impact on the global economy. Xi also issued a stern warning regarding the Taiwan issue, stating mishandling could lead to conflict. US officials reiterated unchanged support for Taiwan and confirmed Trump advocated for the release of Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai.
