The debate over where to hold Mr. Trump?s meeting with Mr. Xi captures the underlying angst. Chinese officials pushed for an invitation to Mr. Trump?s private resort, American officials said, because it would be more relaxed and informal than a summit meeting at the White House. Equally important, it would reduce the pressure on the two leaders to produce any agreements, which in the current environment is viewed as unrealistic.
