All right, Alexander, let's talk about the meeting between Trump and Xi in Beijing.

The first meeting between them was two hours long.

Then both delegations went to a different venue, and the meetings continue.

I believe they're now attending the state banquet as we're recording this video.

So by the time this video goes up, they would have concluded the dinners and everything

would have been done there as well.

And then we have one more day or they're going to be leaving tomorrow or maybe one more

day of talks.

Very quick, a summit, quick meetings, two hours between the two leaders. What are

your thoughts? They both say very nice things about one another as well. So just the vibe seemed

very, very friendly, very positive, I guess, with the exception of some warnings about Taiwan.

Anyway, go ahead, I'll say I'd say I'd say, yeah. You've put it, I think, very well because this is a meeting in which you see two people who,

you know, are very friendly with each other, very polite, meetings have been relatively short.

The summit meeting itself has been relatively short. They don't seem to be discussing

deep strategic questions very much. There's been the ceremonial banquet, which there always is,

you know, in these, doing these visits. But it looks more like ceremony than it looks like substance.

It's not a sort of,

I don't,

one doesn't get the sense of two leaders sitting together,

engaging in tough negotiations about trade and economics and technology, and about global strategy, and about Ukraine,

and about the situation in the Middle East.

It doesn't look like it's that kind of meeting.
