Trump, Xi consider 'Board of Trade'

- Ahead of next week’s Trump‑Xi summit, both sides are aiming to stabilise ties and Washington is weighing a 'Board of Trade' consult arrangement. - The proposed 'Board of Trade' would pair the U.S. Trade Representative with China’s commerce ministry for regular consultations and use tariffs to manage disputes. - Analysts say the summit may formalise a stalemate rather than breakthroughs, with scepticism from Time and the Atlantic Council.
