Reuters. A motorcade believed to be carrying U.S. President Donald Trump swept along Beijing’s main thoroughfare Chang'an Avenue on Thursday (May 14) before his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Trump received a grand welcome at Beijing's Great Hall of the People ahead of talks with Xi set to cover their fragile trade truce, the Iran war and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.
Trump told Xi that their countries had a fantastic relationship, that whenever they had problems they would work it out quickly, and that they were going to "have a fantastic future together", during their talks.
China-U.S. economic and trade ties are mutually beneficial and win-win in nature, Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday when holding talks with U.S. President Donald Trump in Beijing.
Facts have shown time and again that trade wars have no winner, and where disagreements and frictions exist, equal-footed consultation is the only right choice, Xi said.
The Chinese and U.S. economic and trade teams produced generally balanced and positive outcomes on Wednesday, which is good news for the people of the two countries and the world, Xi said, calling on the two sides to jointly sustain the good momentum that they have worked hard to create.
