▶️Trump sees Xi as an equal and demonstrates respect, believes Dmitry Kochegurov, a research fellow at the Institute for the Study of the United States and Canada of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
▶️However, despite the considerable effort invested in organizing the meeting, the main issues remain unresolved: there is only a truce in the trade war, says Vasily Kashin, director of the Center for Comprehensive European and International Studies at the National Research University Higher School of Economics.
In his view, this is either a major failure or, at best, a very limited result. If the sides failed to agree on a position ahead of a major event, “it means that they have very serious problems.”
This is typical of many of Trump’s summits, Kashin points out. “He holds them relying on his personal magnetism, thinking that he will now resolve everything ‘with the big boss,’ but in the end nothing moves forward,” the expert says.
