President Trump and China’s leader, Xi Jinping, emphasized stability on Friday as they concluded a high-stakes summit in Beijing, albeit without announcing any clear resolutions on trade, Taiwan, the war in Iran or other major points of contention.

Sitting beside Mr. Xi during a meeting at Zhongnanhai, the walled headquarters for China’s ruling Communist Party, Mr. Trump said that the Chinese leader had “become really a friend” and that they felt similarly about the war.

When asked whether China had agreed to buy Boeing jets, a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said at the ministry’s daily briefing on Friday only that China-U.S. economic ties were mutually beneficial.

On agriculture, however, he said that China is ready to work on important economic understandings reached by Xi and Trump.

Trump, greeted by flag-waving students at the airport, wasted no time as he climbed the stairs of Air Force One, turned for a quick wave, and hopped aboard. Staff scrambled aboard, doors closed, and at 2:41 pm Beijing time, we rolled down the runway. Next stop: Alaska, for refueling.

When Jensen Huang, Nvidia’s chief executive, joined the group of American business leaders traveling with President Trump to Beijing at the last minute this week, many took it as a sign that progress was in store for the company’s long-stalled sales in China.

But as the summit between Mr. Trump and Xi Jinping, China’s top leader, wrapped up on Friday, the fate of Nvidia’s artificial intelligence chips in China was no clearer than it had been before.

Xi again linked Trump’s Make America Great Again movement to his signature domestic vision, which he calls the “great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” during talks between the two leaders at Zhongnanhai. “Through strengthened cooperation, both China and the United States can promote their respective development and revitalization,” Xi said.

President Trump said on Thursday that China had agreed to order 200 Boeing jets, potentially lifting the fortunes of the American jet manufacturer in one of the world’s largest aviation markets.

In an interview with Fox News, Mr. Trump hailed what he termed as successes from the first day of meetings with Xi Jinping, China’s top leader. He said Mr. Xi told him that an order would be placed for the American planes.
