Trump to wrap up Xi summit with a tour of US archives
Trump will show Xi the Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights as the visit ends with no major policy breakthroughs.
- On Friday, President Donald Trump is taking Chinese President Jinping to the National Archives to view the Declaration, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights, capping a three-day state visit.
- Thursday's state summit at the White House featured lavish symbolism but yielded few substantive breakthroughs, as the two leaders met for 90 minutes discussing the Middle East, Ukraine, and related issues.
- Regarding Taiwan, Jinping pressed Trump to "handle the Taiwan question with prudence" while Washington currently holds a $14 billion arms package in abeyance, prompting Senate Democrats to criticize the summit.
- Craig Singleton of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies said Jinping's use of the word "adhere" was revealing, implying "Beijing believes Washington is already behaving in ways it wants."
- The Archives visit features "The American Story," an exhibit marking the 250th anniversary of United States founding, as Trump stated the visit aims to show "artifacts testifying to the long and cherished relationship" between the United States and China.
