Trump and Xi: A meeting that lasted roughly as long as a coffee break

Original version ·

The leaders of the world's two biggest economies just sat down, and it seems they barely had time to finish their pleasantries.

When Donald Trump and Xi Jinping get together, you expect a marathon of diplomatic heavy lifting. Instead, it sounds like they barely got past the appetizers. It was less of a strategic summit and more of a blink-and-you-miss-it speed run of international relations.

Negotiators usually spend months drafting white papers for these things, but this felt like someone tried to solve a global power struggle over a quick lunch. It is honestly impressive to fit that much geopolitical baggage into such a tiny window of time.

Efficiency is great, but when the fate of the global economy is involved, a meeting this short feels like trying to write a dissertation on a sticky note.
