[UPDATE] Xi ends 3-day Washington visit with trade truce extended and two more Trump meetings set

No movement on AI, Taiwan or the Iran war.

Xi flew home on Saturday, Sept. 26, with little progress on AI, Taiwan or the Iran war. He and Trump agreed to meet again twice: at APEC in China in November, and at the G20 at Trump's Doral resort in December.
