“Achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand,” Xi said, referring to Mr. Trump’s political movement. “We can help each other succeed and advance the well-being of the whole world.”
In his toast, President Trump again called Xi “my friend” and said his visit had been “a great honor” punctuated by a “fantastic” day. He said matters “all good for the United States and China” were discussed Thursday.
Trump also announced that Xi would make a reciprocal visit to the White House on Sept. 24 — a date not previously announced.
The positive tone also was reflected in the White House assessment of the earlier meetings, which said both leaders had touched on ways to enhance economic cooperation, including expanding market access for American businesses in China and increasing Chinese investment into U.S. industries.
The White House readout didn’t mention Taiwan directly, but, in relation to Iran, said both sides had agreed that the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil and natural gas, must remain open. The strait’s closure has stranded tankers and caused energy prices to spike, threatening global economic growth.
