United States President Donald Trump has announced that he secured what he described as “fantastic trade deals” with Chinese President Xi Jinping following high-level talks between the two leaders in Beijing.
Trump made the remarks at the end of a summit that focused on trade relations and geopolitical tensions, including ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and global supply chain concerns.
He said the discussions produced agreements beneficial to both countries, though he did not provide specific details of the deals reached.
The U.S. President also described Xi as a “great leader” and a “friend,” adding that several long-standing issues between Washington and Beijing had been addressed during the visit.
A key point raised by Trump was China’s position on the crisis involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.
He claimed Xi had indicated that Beijing would not provide military support to Tehran and expressed willingness to help ensure the strategic waterway remains open.
However, Chinese officials offered a more cautious response, calling for a ceasefire and urging that shipping routes be reopened in line with international concerns, without confirming Trump’s claims.
On trade matters, Trump said China had shown interest in purchasing U.S. goods including Boeing aircraft, oil and agricultural products such as soybeans.
He also suggested that a large aircraft order was part of the discussions, although no official confirmation was issued by Beijing.
Issues surrounding Taiwan were also reportedly discussed, with Chinese authorities warning that mismanagement of the sensitive topic could strain relations between both countries.
The U.S. side, however, maintained that its policy on Taiwan remains unchanged.
The summit concluded with a private meeting and lunch between both leaders before Trump departed Beijing, describing the visit as productive and forward-looking in improving U.S.–China relations.
