Two days of trade talks resulted in what leaders called a framework agreement meant to solidify terms of a truce that the superpowers reached in Geneva last month.

The president’s celebratory tone on his China “deal” belies the uncomfortable reality that he has made little tangible progress since this spring’s tariff spree.

While Donald Trump hailed the outcome of trade talks in London, Xi Jinping walked away with an understated strategic gain: a negotiating process that buys China time and helps defuse the threat of more harmful tariffs and technology curbs.

In a post on Truth Social Thursday night, Trump railed against the U.S. Court of International Trade’s ruling the previous day, which found that the president had exceeded his legal authority by imposing sweeping tariffs on dozens of countries, based on vague claims of “national emergencies.”

Donald Trump's oft-lauded reputation as a "dealmaker" is taking a major hit during his second stint in the Oval Office with losses piling up and promised completion of negotiations being kicked down the road.

The U.S. and China have agreed on a "framework" to resolve some disputes that threatened to derail fragile talks between the two countries.

U.S. President Donald Trump wants China to lift restrictions on exporting rare earths and other critical minerals that Beijing imposed as part of a yearslong trade war.
