The US White House published the outcomes of President Donald Trump’s reciprocal state visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, led by the operationalization of bilateral trade and investment mechanisms established in May 2026. The countries reached consensus on recommendations for more favorable tariff treatment covering USD 30 billion of nonsensitive goods in each direction and launched an agricultural market access working group. China also agreed to import at least 10 million metric tons of US coal in each of 2027 and 2028, while discussions continue over shortages of rare earths and other critical minerals. The new US-China Board of Investment will provide a structured channel to address investment opportunities and commercially meaningful impediments. Separately, the United States welcomed China’s scheduling of orphines and export controls on two fentanyl precursor chemicals, while urging permanent controls on these and other substances. Trump also asked Xi to increase refined petroleum production to help stabilize global supply. The countries established a US-China Super Intelligence Dialogue covering the risks and benefits of emerging technologies, with the next exchange due by November 2026, and agreed to create a bilateral communication channel for related incidents. The leaders also discussed strategic stability, global security concerns and potential trilateral arms control negotiations involving the United States, China and Russia.
