Trump-Xi Summit Cheat Sheet: New Deals, Extended Trade Truce, But No Breakthrough?

The White House released an itinerary for next week's Trump-Xi meeting, including plans for Trump to greet Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews. Ahead of the summit, Bank of America analysts outlined modest expectations, telling clients they see "little scope for a major trade breakthrough."

Bloomberg reports that Trump will welcome Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, opening a visit that includes bilateral talks and a White House state dinner on Thursday.

Trump and Xi will be at the White House on Thursday for a military review in the Rose Garden. First Lady Melania Trump and Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, will attend a separate event in the Washington metro area, with details yet to be announced.

That evening, Trump will host Xi for a state dinner in the East Room. Both presidents are scheduled to deliver opening remarks to guests, including technology and finance executives.

Bank of America China and Asia economist Anna Zhou penned a preview of next week's Trump-Xi meeting, saying both sides are expected to extend their trade truce and announce new commercial deals.

Zhou expects a one-year extension of the existing trade agreement, which expires Nov. 10, alongside additional Chinese purchases of US goods and targeted tariff relief.

"We expect the Trump-Xi summit with the most likely outcome being an extension of the existing trade ceasefire, supplemented by additional Chinese purchases and limited tariff reductions on non-sensitive products," Zhou said.

She added, "We see little scope for a major trade breakthrough or a substantive new framework for AI-chip licensing. The reported participation of Chinese CEOs is a constructive signal, but it should be treated cautiously unless it produces concrete purchases, investments or market-access commitments."

Zhou's cheat sheet on what to expect next week:

Separately, JPMorgan analyst Feng Zhu previewed next week's summit for clients, saying neither side will offer a "grand bargain," but that he expects "more deals."

Zhu expects:

• We expect limited stabilization, with strategic stability a key measure of success.
• Iran and strategic waterways offer the clearest geopolitical upside, despite tensions over China's links to Tehran.
• The economic package should exceed May's but remain narrow: tariff restraint, a renewed rare earth truce, limited chip licensing, additional purchases, and selective investment.
• On AI, a risk-management dialogue is more likely than a binding governance agreement.
• The likely outcome is strategic accommodation within managed decoupling, not partnership or a grand bargain.

With just days until the summit, tensions are rising, but the meeting remains on track, so far...

The Marriage Deficit Is An Economic Catastrophe

Authored by Stephen Moore via The Epoch Times,

The Beatles told us: "All you need is love."

They were right, but along with love must come marriage.

But marriage rates have plummeted, especially among young men.

A Pulitzer Prize-worthy story by Sean Salai of The Washington Times crunches all the numbers. To say they are worrisome would be a vast understatement.

- In 2025, nearly twice as many men ages 18 to 39 were unmarried as were married.

- There were 30.4 million unmarried men ages 18 to 39 in 2025, up 47 percent from 20.7 million in 2000.

- In the same period, married men in this age range dropped by 15 percent, from 18.1 million to 15.4 million. "Such men are more likely to be lonely, prone to deaths of despair and unhappy," according to Brad Wilcox, a University of Virginia sociologist.

- Forty-two percent of working-class men are unmarried, according to educational psychologist Donna R. Turner. In 1980, 73 percent of working-class men were married.

I could go on and with these depressing statistics.

But I believe the decline in marriage and children is a threat to the American future much more dangerous than even the national debt, climate change, cancer or foreign aggression.

Family is the essential organizing unit in America. We're not to live in Soviet-style communes where the authority figure is "Big Brother."

Every study shows that the decline in marriage among young men is tied to alcoholism, violent crime, drug abuse, pornography, depression, isolation, less economic success and suicide.

Are women to blame?

Certainly. Study shows that as women have become more career oriented, they are having a harder time "marrying up."

Generation X and millennials have become choosier in finding a mate and more likely to have children alone, if they have them at all.

"Women have less structural need for marriage than past generations did," said Angelica Gianchandani, a New York University finance instructor. "Rising income and education give many women a financial independence marriage once provided, and donor sperm and fertility treatment have decoupled motherhood from a partner altogether."

Women are much less likely to be religious today than in decades past. So holy matrimony is less of a lifetime priority or moral obligation.

We do know that when women raise children without a father in the home - for whatever reason - their kids, especially their sons, are less successful. It's a particular problem for black women to find a suitable mate when so many young black males are incarcerated.

I'm thrashing for explanations and solutions to this deeply troubling social trend. Obviously, we are not returning to the "Father Knows Best" norms of the 1950s or 1960s.

But recovery starts with admitting we have a problem. I would suggest that President Donald Trump announce a national bipartisan commission on "Rediscovering Love, Marriage and Parenthood."

One last stat to underscore the urgency of turning around these trends:

The latest Census Bureau data indicate that 47 percent of households were headed by married couples last year, down from 78.8 percent in 1949.

That trend MUST be reversed to advance America's economic prosperity and human happiness.
