China Summit: Chinese President Xi Jinping Arrives in the US

USA officials said the two sides agreed to increase cooperation on trying to get North Korea’s to abandon its nuclear weapons program, and China acknowledged the need for more balanced trade with the U.S.

The unorthodox location of the summit is meant to lessen the formality of the first meeting between the two leaders, White House aides said, and help establish a working relationship, if not rapport, between Trump and Xi after moments of tension during the USA election season.

Both as a candidate and president, Trump has taken an aggressive posture toward China, labeling Beijing a “tremendous problem” and arguing that lopsided trade deals with China shortchange American businesses and workers. What does he do about bringing the world together as president trump said last night. “That’s one of the things we are going to be talking about”, Trump told reporters ahead of the meeting. Through our communication, we’ve reached a lot of agreements. We will work towards promoting this friendly relationship, which will benefit China, the U.S. and their peoples. Trump said during his presidential campaign that he wanted to stop the Chinese “theft” of American jobs.

Thursday’s airstrike marked the first direct US military action against the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad since Syria’s civil war began in 2011.

When asked at a news briefing if the Chinese side was given advance warning she responded: “I have no information on that”. -China relationship and burnishing his foreign policy credentials than achieving a breakthrough. “Under this approach, it seems the Syrian conflict could not be resolved peacefully”.

Trump informed Xi of the missile strikes after dinner and shortly before the Chinese delegation departed Mar-a-Lago for the Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan.

The Chinese leader is expected to be in Mar-a-Lago until Friday afternoon.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry and the Chinese Embassy in the USA likely would have pushed to make a big deal of Xi’s visit, Lam says, but would have been aware of the situation in Syria, he added.

Chinese state owned Xinhua news agency quoted officials as saying that Trump accepted President Xi’s invitation with pleasure, and hoped to make the trip at an early date.

“I’m meeting with the president of China on Thursday and Friday in Palm Beach, Florida, and I think we’re going to have a very interesting talk”, Mr. Trump said.

The 24-hour visit defied expectations among some analysts that a meeting so soon into Trump’s tenure risked damaging relations between the world’s two largest countries by economic output.

CBS4’s Carey Codd spoke to a group of protesters of Vietnamese background who want Trump to take a hard-line against China.

Trump declared his relationship with Xi as “outstanding” at the end of a high-stakes but studiously familiar first meeting between the pair at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

In a secure room at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, President Donald Trump’s top military advisers presented him with three options for punishing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for a poison gas attack that killed dozens of civilians. Chinese exports to the USA totaled some $388.1 billion previous year.

The Chinese president also underlined the role of four newly-established high-level mechanisms for dialogue and cooperation between China and the United States in such areas as diplomacy and security, economy, law enforcement and cyber security, as well as social and people-to-people exchanges. The communist country tested another missile just two days ago but trade between the US and China is also expected to take center stage, which then-candidate Trump frequently criticized on the campaign trail.
