President Donald Trump on Thursday expressed optimism about his future interactions with Chinese President Xi Jinping, stating that he anticipated a "fantastic relationship" between the two leaders. This remark came during their first face-to-face meeting in six years, which took place in South Korea. The encounter occurred against a backdrop of significant tensions between the United States and China.
"It's a great honour... I think we're going to have a fantastic relationship for a long period of time - and it's an honor to have you with us," he said.
In addition to his comments on the prospective relationship, Trump offered praise for his Chinese counterpart, describing Xi Jinping as “a great leader of a great country.” He further indicated that progress had already been made in discussions between the two sides, noting that they had “already agreed to a lot of things.”
"We've already agreed to a lot of things, and we'll agree to some more right now, but President Xi is a great leader of a great country, and I think we're going to have a fantastic relationship for a long period of time, and it's an honour to have you with us," Trump said.
