Trump and Xi Enter Second Day of Summit with Major Business Deals

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping began the second day of their summit talks in Beijing on Friday, as observers anticipated the world's two leading economic powers would secure several significant business deals.

One of the key agenda items was China's agreement to buy substantial volumes of soybeans and other agricultural commodities from the United States. These transactions are seen as a positive step toward improving the bilateral trade balance between Beijing and Washington.

The summit comes amid a backdrop of strained U.S.-China relations, marked by trade disputes and retaliatory tariffs. The leaders' discussions on new business agreements offer hope for a period of more stable economic cooperation.
