Trump and Xi Declare Harmony as US Visit Ends
Chinese President Xi Jinping's three-day US visit ended Friday. Xi and US President Donald Trump declared harmony between their two countries.
They said there was no confrontation. Trump hosted a dinner for Xi on Thursday.
On Friday Trump planned to take Xi to the National Archives. The National Archives holds the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution.
This visit was meant to be the trip's final highlight. Key details of Xi's talks with Trump were not yet public.
Reports said the summit produced no major breakthroughs. Trump said US farmers gained better access to Chinese markets.
Both leaders named artificial intelligence as an area for cooperation. Taiwan remained a major point of disagreement.
Reuters reported Xi wanted a stronger US statement against Taiwan independence. That statement would go further than the current US position.
