WASHINGTON - The United States and China agreed Wednesday to extend their trade truce by two months until Jan. 10, as President Donald Trump greeted Chinese leader Xi Jinping with a rare airfield welcome for his three-day state visit to Washington.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the extension of the one-year truce, which was set to expire Nov. 10, in a Fox News interview shortly after Xi's arrival at Joint Base Andrews on the outskirts of the U.S. capital.
