‘Never mess it up’: What Xi and Trump said on day one of
Beijing talks- Xi and Trump agree to frame their relationship
as ‘constructive, strategic and stable’ on the first day of talks
in Beijing. One day into United States President Donald
Trump’s visit to China for trade talks, he and Chinese
President Xi Jinping exchanged toasts at a state banquet at
the Great Hall of the People in Beijing and hailed their
relationship as the world’s most “consequential”. Following a
visit to the Temple of Heaven, a 600-year-old landmark in the
Chinese capital, Xi spoke of a “shared US-China future”, while
also warning that failure to handle this bond would create a
“very dangerous situation”.
