Caption: U.S.-China Paris Talks Could Set Up Trump-Xi Decisions on Trade. Senior U.S. and Chinese economic officials are finishing talks in Paris that may pave the way for new trade understandings ahead of a possible meeting between President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping. Sources say the discussions have been unusually steady, with potential progress in agriculture, critical minerals, energy and new systems to manage trade and investment disputes. China reportedly showed willingness to expand purchases of American farm goods such as poultry, beef and other crops, while also reaffirming major soybean commitments under the 2025 trade truce. U.S. officials, meanwhile, pushed for better access to Chinese critical minerals, including yttrium, and encouraged more Chinese purchases of Boeing aircraft and U.S. oil, coal and gas. Still, any major agreement would need approval from Trump and Xi themselves. Analysts say the current Middle East crisis and limited preparation time make a major breakthrough less likely in the near term.
