The big meetup between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping elicited a big yawn from financial markets and a dearth of economic headlines.

France 24 English reported the story as "Ukrainian PM Lisa Yasko asserts: Any country trading with Russia is on 'the wrong side of history'." The New York Times reported the story as "Days After Hosting Trump, Xi Deepens Ties With Putin." South China Morning Post reported the story as "Xi-Putin summit leaves gas pipeline plan in limbo."
