US President Donald Trump left Beijing on Friday after a three-day state visit to China. He held summit talks with President Xi Jinping focused on trade, Taiwan and artificial intelligence, though few major agreements were confirmed.
Trump described the visit as very successful before departing and said China had agreed to buy at least 200 Boeing jets. Xi called the visit historic and a landmark event.
The two sides agreed on a new vision for a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability. Speaking to reporters on Air Force One, Trump said he and Xi discussed Taiwan extensively and reiterated that the US does not support Taiwanese independence.
Analysts noted that while the summit featured warm pageantry, years of tensions cannot be resolved in 48 hours. Many expected details on trade truce extensions and other deals remain pending.
Trump also said he looks forward to hosting Xi in Washington this autumn.
