We now have a Chinese state media readout of the Zhongnanhai talks between Xi and Trump.
Xi called it a “historic and landmark” visit and said that the two leaders established “a new positioning for the constructive strategic and stable relationship” between their two countries.
“President Trump hopes to make America great again, and I am committed to leading the Chinese people to realise the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation,” he said in the remarks, adding that both countries should implement the “important consensus” reached.
Trump said the visit was “very successful, world-renowned, and unforgettable”, according to the Chinese readout, and called Xi “an old friend of mine,” saying “I have great respect for him”.
“I am willing to maintain sincere and in-depth communication with President Xi Jinping and warmly look forward to hosting him in Washington.”
