Trump, 79, Humbled by Rivals After Flying Around World

Trump Returns from China with Little to Show

President Donald Trump, 79, has concluded his meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with Beijing appearing to have gained the upper hand.

Despite this, Trump praised the negotiations as "amazing" and listed several vague agreements, including discussions on soybeans, fentanyl, rare earth minerals, and tariffs, while on board Air Force One flying back to Washington.

Trump claimed the two leaders reached agreements on several issues, but nothing has been officially signed.

The early signs suggest that the best-case scenario is China returning to the status quo, while Trump gives up leverage.
