Bilateral meeting between Trump and Chinese leader Xi remains inconclusive, personal friendship is emphasized

While it was stated that no significant results emerged from the bilateral meetings, Trump avoided defining Xi as the main geopolitical rival of the USA and emphasized his personal friendship. Trump did not raise the issue of human rights in public.

China, on the other hand, stated that Xi asked Trump to change Washington's long-standing stance on Taiwan.

Meanwhile, at the state dinner held for Xi at the White House, he emphasized that "a new era has begun in their friendship." Stating that the relationship between them is strong, Trump said, "We have never gotten along this well before."

While Trump praised the deep-rooted history of US-China relations, he also mentioned the controversial ballroom project under construction in the White House.

Trump said the Chinese leader and his wife could be the first to enter the ballroom, which is still a year from completion, as a "special gesture."
