Trump: I discussed the war on Iran with Xi and expect excellent results regarding Hormuz

In response to a question about the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, Trump said, "I believe we will achieve excellent results."

At the conclusion of Xi's state visit to Washington, Trump said that his talks with the Chinese president had made significant progress in the interest of both countries, describing their meeting as "very productive" and adding that "enormous things will happen."

For his part, Xi indicated the possibility of two additional meetings with Trump before the end of the year, one during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC) meeting in China and the other during the G20 summit in the United States.

Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Thursday that he had held "frank and in-depth" talks with US President Donald Trump, indicating that the two sides had reached understandings on a number of issues.

Xi added, during a dinner, that the understandings reached with Trump had added a "new dimension" to the constructive relations between China and the United States based on strategic stability, and gave the relations between the two countries a "new strategic direction."

He pointed out that trade relations between China and the United States date back nearly 200 years, noting that former US President George Washington bought a large collection of Chinese porcelain.

For his part, US President Donald Trump affirmed the long-standing relationship between the Chinese and American people, saying, "The East and the West have finally met here in the United States."

Trump added that the difference in political systems between China and the United States did not prevent the continuation of relations between the two peoples, noting that Americans and Chinese have exchanged goods, knowledge, and ideas.

Trump presented the Chinese president with a statue of a bald eagle, the national symbol of the United States.

Trump said on Thursday that the relationship between the United States and China is based on mutual respect, expressing his pride in the relations between the two countries.

During a speech upon receiving Xi Jinping at the White House, he said, "President Xi and I have built a friendship, indeed a great friendship, based on mutual respect and the vital interests of our peoples."

Trump indicated that he would talk with Xi about a number of pressing issues, including security and artificial intelligence.

He added that he would also discuss issues related to security, technology, and superior intelligence, which is the term he uses to refer to artificial intelligence, noting that decisions made by the two countries in these areas could enhance peace and prosperity for decades to come.

Trump affirmed that the United States is working to establish balanced trade relations with China, stressing the continuation of work with the Chinese president to "create a better future" for both countries.
