  Sep 30, 202647 min

  The Xi–Trump summit in September extended the US–China trade truce by just two months, offering a brief pause, but little certainty for companies planning ahead. Theresa Terzer speaks with Michaela Abels and Randolf Carr about what the extension signals, which developments businesses should watch before the January 10, 2027 deadline, and how to prepare for continued US–China friction. The conversation covers rare-earth exports and agricultural purchases, possible trade-truce scenarios, implications for European companies, and the growing divide over AI and technology. Michaela also shares practical ways to stress-test business strategies, track early-warning indicators, and build geopolitical resilience across teams and supply chains.
