Trump & Xi Meet At The White House

In a recent conversation, Gordon Chang discusses the outcomes of the meeting between President Trump and Xi Jinping at the White House. Chang highlights that the meeting was largely ceremonial with substantive discussions likely limited due to the short duration and lack of pre-arranged agreements. He points out that topics such as Taiwan and trade took significant time, reducing the effectiveness of the meeting. Chang also mentions the notable attendees at the state dinner, including tech leaders like Elon Musk and Tim Cook, suggesting a focus on high-tech and AI discussions. He emphasizes the need for a more practical approach in U.S.-China relations, particularly in areas like energy and security, rather than relying on ineffective dialogue. Chang concludes by questioning the efficacy of current diplomatic efforts and calls for decisive action to protect American interests.
