特朗普与习近平结束访美，双方同意延长贸易休战期

S HEADLINES IN WASHINGTON. CHINESE PRESIDENT XI JINPING WRAPPED UP A THREE-DAY STATE VISIT THAT WAS HEAVY ON PAGEANTRY, A LIGHT ON POLICY ANNOUNCEMENTS. THEY MET THIS MORNING AT THE WHITE HOUSE FOR TEA ALONG WITH THEIR SPOUSES. THE EVENT WAS COVERED BY THE WHITE HOUSE PRESS POOL, PROVIDING TV COVERAGE AFTER A STANDOFF OVER MR. TRUMP'S BANNING THREE MEDIA OUTLETS. HE LATER TOOK XI TO THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES TO VIEW AMERICA'S FOUNDING DOCUMENTS LIKE THE CONSTITUTION.

MR. TRUMP SPOKE BRIEFLY TO REPORTERS ABOUT THEIR NATION'S HISTORY'S.

WE ARE JUST COMPARING. OURS GOES 250 YEARS, WHICH IS GREAT AND WE ARE PROUD OF IT. BUT THERE IS GOES 6000 YEARS. SO THERE'S A LITTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 6000 AND 200 50, BUT WE ARE PROUD OF IT.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE VISIT, THEY AGREED TO AN EXTENSION OF A TRADE TRUCE. OTHERWISE, THERE WAS LITTLE PROGRESS ON ISSUES, INCLUDING AI, THE IRAN WAR, OR U.S. SUPPORT FOR TAIWAN. THE LEADERS AGREED TO MEET TWICE AGAIN THIS YEAR. ONCE IN CHINA AND LATER IN FLORIDA. TENS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ALONG THE EAST COAST FROM THE CAROLINAS TO CAPE COD COULD SEE FLOODING, ROUGH SURF, AND HIGH WIND THIS WEEKEND DUE TO A POWERFUL NOR'EASTER.

IN SOME PLACES, THE IMPACTS ARE ALREADY BEING FELT. MASSIVE WAVES PUMMELED THE OUTER BANKS AND ALONG VIRGINIA'S COAST. HIGH SURFACE SPILLED INTO NEIGHBORHOODS. FARTHER NORTH, IT SHEARON'S BOSTON AREA CONCERTS HAVE BEEN CANCELED DUE TO THE WEATHER. IN NEW YORK, BEACHES ARE BEING FORTIFIED. TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS SAY THE FOCUS WILL BE ON DAMAGING WIND GUSTS, WHICH COULD TOP 60 MILES AN HOUR.

RIGHT NOW, THE WIND IS OUR BIGGEST CONCERN. THE FORECAST IS THE AMOUNTS OF RAIN ARE SEVERAL INCHES, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE HAPPENING OVER TIME. THE RISK OF THOSE TORRENTIAL RAINFALL FLOODING IMPACTS IS REDUCED, BUT WE ARE HEARING ABOUT THE WIND.

HAWAII IS BRACING FOR THE HURRICANE WHICH COULD BECOME A MAJOR HURRICANE THIS WEEKEND. THE STORM IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN SOUTH OF THE ISLAND AS IT HEADS WEST THIS WEEKEND. FORECASTERS WARNED IT WILL BRING TROPICAL STORM CONDITIONS TO THE BIG ISLAND WITH UP TO 25 INCHES OF RAIN, THE POSSIBILITY OF LIFE-THREATENING FLOODS AND MUDSLIDES. NEW JERSEY'S LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR STEPPED DOWN AMID ACCUSATIONS OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ETHICS VIOLATIONS.

HIS BOSS, MIKIE SHERRILL, HAD GIVEN HIM UNTIL FRIDAY TO DO SO.

IN MY ADMINISTRATION, WE ARE COMMITTED TO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT. NOT WHAT IS POLITICALLY EXPEDIENT.

HE WAS FACING INCREASING POLITICAL PRESSURE AFTER A LAW FIRM SHE HAD HIRED FOUND CALDWELL USED A CHARGED LANGUAGE AND RECOMMENDED SOMEONE WHO WAS DATING FOR A PROMOTION. HE HAS DENIED ANY WRONGDOING. THE UKRAINIAN PRESIDENT SAID HE ASKED PRESIDENT TRUMP THIS WEEK AT THE U.N. TO URGE CHINA'S LEADER FOR HELP IN ENDING THE WAR WITH RUSSIA. HE TOLD REPORTERS HE'S STILL WAITING ON A RESPONSE. IN THE MEANTIME, BOTH SIDES CARRIED OUT NEW ATTACKS.

IN UKRAINE. OFFICIALS SAY RUSSIAN STRIKES OVERNIGHT AND INTO TODAY KILLED AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE ACROSS MULTIPLE REGIONS.
