Chinese President Xi Jinping has said that China’s development and revitalisation go hand in hand with US President Donald Trump’s vision to ‘Make America Great Again.’
Xi made the remarks on Thursday during a meeting with Trump in Busan for the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju. Xi said the two countries are fully able to help each other succeed and prosper together.
Xi also said he is ready to continue working with Trump to build a solid foundation for China-US relations and create a sound atmosphere for the development of both countries.
Speaking optimistically ahead of the US-China talks amid a tariff tussle, Donald Trump said the meeting would be “great for everybody,” raising hopes for progress on trade issues between the two countries.
“I will be meeting President Xi today…a very fantastic meeting….It’s a big meeting. I think it’s going to work out really well. It’s going to be great for everybody,” Donald Trump said.
Donald Trump and Xi Jinping are expected to meet on the sidelines of a regional summit in South Korea this week to discuss their ongoing trade dispute. The meeting between both the leaders is expected to de-escalate the trade tensions that have rattled the global economy.
