According to the report, the leaders still face major disagreements over trade, Taiwan, technology and Iran. China has resisted U.S. pressure to use its influence over Tehran in efforts to end the nearly seven-month conflict.

Xi wants Washington to stop arms sales to Taiwan and ease restrictions on advanced semiconductor exports. Meanwhile, the U.S. and China agreed to extend their existing trade truce by two months beyond its scheduled November 10 expiration.

Xi said competition between the countries should remain constructive and avoid a winner-takes-all approach. The leaders were expected to address the outstanding disputes during private discussions.
