US President Donald Trump said he had made "fantastic trade deals" with China's Xi Jinping, as the pair met on Friday (May 15) at final talks of a superpower summit.
"A lot of good has come of it. We've made some fantastic trade deals, great for both countries," Trump said as he toured the gardens of the Zhongnanhai, the Chinese central leadership compound next to Beijing's Forbidden City.
Trump did not spell out the trade agreements that he said had been sealed with China.
But in a Fox News interview, he said one big deal involved China agreeing to purchase 200 Boeing jets. The US president also said Beijing had voiced interest in buying US oil and soybeans.
"We've settled a lot of different problems that other people wouldn't have been able to solve," Trump said at Zhongnanhai, without providing details.
But big differences remain on Iran, Taiwan and more, even though Trump told Fox News that Xi had effectively given the assurance that China was not preparing to militarily aid Tehran
"He'd like to see the Hormuz Strait open, and said 'if I can be of any help whatsoever, I would like to help,'" Trump added.
Xi said it was a "milestone visit", and that the two sides had to date established "a new bilateral relationship, which is a relationship of constructive strategic stability".
He promised to send Trump seeds for the White House Rose Garden. Catch up on our live coverage.
