Trump-Xi meeting light on substance
Trump and Xi met at the White House, but few announcements emerged. Trump emphasized Xi's liking for granite while showing the helipad; Xi announced two pandas will soon arrive in Atlanta. Republican Sen. John Kennedy cautioned against overt friendliness, citing China's relationship with Iran.
Why it matters: The lack of substantive trade announcements from the Trump-Xi meeting underscores the geoeconomics theme of US-China relations.
