Trump and Xi had a chat about the war, or maybe just the weather

Original version ·

The main characters of global politics just locked themselves in a room for a closed-door meeting.

So, Donald Trump Trump and Xi Jinping Xi finally sat down in the Oval Office. The official readout from China is predictably vague—they apparently covered the "Ukraine crisis," the Middle East, and Korea. That’s it. That’s the tweet.

Nothing concrete was leaked, and they didn’t even bother with a joint press conference to pretend they like each other. Trump just dropped a classic "we had a great meeting" line on the lawn and walked away. No details on whether Xi actually plans to tell Vladimir Putin Putin to pack it up, or if they just spent the whole time arguing about trade tariffs.

It’s the geopolitical equivalent of a corporate meeting that definitely could have been an email.
