Trump and Xi met face-to-face, but their minds are worlds apart. Both sides described this week’s summit as constructive and there were no major surprises, but based on initial readouts, the two leaders seemed to be talking “strait” past each other. China says President Xi Jinping spoke about “peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait” while simultaneously suggesting “conflicts” and “clashes” if the U.S. challenges Beijing’s views on Taiwan. President Trump pushed his own concerns about Iran.
