Description: President Trump wrapped up his Beijing summit with President Xi touting progress on trade and Iran, though the trip ended without major policy announcements or clear commitments from China. Also, The CDC says there are currently no known U.S. Hantavirus cases after a suspected American infection was likely a false positive, though dozens remain under monitoring for possible exposure.
