Summary
The Beijing summit is over and the scorecard is empty. Great food. Lovely airport ceremonies. Zero agreements. Trump needed Iran help from China and left empty handed. Xi wanted movement on Taiwan and got none. The CEOs who tagged along for the trade mission are heading home with nothing to show for the trip. Meanwhile Republicans have been promising gas prices will drop like a rock since February 28th — and that promise is aging about as well as last month's leftovers. At what point do hollow promises at the pump become a real political problem? All of it today, straight and honest.
