Xi Jinping’s visit heavy on symbolism but no sign closed-door meeting yielded breakthroughs on thorny issues such as AI, trade, Taiwan and Iran
Donald Trump welcomed Xi Jinping to the White House on Thursday, with talks on AI, trade and a growing US-China strategic rivalry expected to feature on an elaborate state visit that critics say went big on style but lacked substance.
Here are the key takeaways from Xi’s first visit to Washington in more than a decade.

La Ville de Rimouski pourra aller de l’avant avec la modification du règlement de zonage pour permettre l’implantation d’un point de collecte de Consignaction à la Plaza Arthur-Buies, puisque personne n’est intervenue pour s’opposer lors de l’assemblée publique de consultation qui a eu lieu lundi soir, lors de la séance du conseil municipal.
« Ça semble faire consensus. On devrait adopter le règlement à une prochaine séance et il sera ensuite soumis à la MRC de Rimouski-Neigette », précise le maire de Rimouski, Guy Caron.
Un avis de motion a été donné, le 8 septembre, par le conseiller municipal de Saint-Robert, Jocelyn Pelletier, à l’effet qu’un règlement serait adopté à une séance ultérieure du conseil municipal ayant pour effet de modifier le règlement afin d’autoriser spécifiquement l’usage « Lieu de retour de contenants consignés » à la Plaza Arthur-Buies.
Un premier projet de règlement avait été adopté quelques minutes après la lecture de l’avis de motion. Ce règlement est susceptible d’une approbation référendaire.
Pour ajouter un usage
« On veut simplement ajouter l’usage permettant le retour de contenants consignés. Il y aura une assemblée publique de consultation, comme à l’habitude. Dans la Plaza Arthur-Buies, je ne pense pas qu’il y aura de l’opposition », a mentionné Caron.
Rappelons qu’initialement, un centre de Consignaction devait s’installer dans l’ancien PFK, mais un changement de zonage était également requis à cet endroit et que le tout était aussi susceptible d’une approbation référendaire.
Au début de septembre, Consignaction a confirmé s’être entendu avec le Groupe Mach, propriétaire du centre commercial Le Carrefour Rimouski, afin de louer un local dont l’ouverture s’effectuera d’ici les prochains mois.
L’organisme mentionnait également au Soir.ca être à la recherche d’un autre centre, cette fois dans le secteur sud-ouest de la ville.
