From a White House statement:

  • China and the US has re-affirmed the G20 commitment to move more rapidly toward “market-determined exchange rate systems”
  • Agreed to enhance economic cooperation for a sustained recovery
  • Committed to discuss support for “Europe’s own efforts to respond” to its debt crisis
  • Both affirmed that WTO rules should be “strictly observed”

Not much to take away here but a trade war seems more remote.
