President Trump wrapped up his Beijing summit with President Xi touting progress on trade and Iran, though the trip ended without major policy announcements or clear commitments from China.

And, Memorial Day travel is expected to cost more this year as the war in Iran pushes up gas prices and airfares despite strong demand.
