Excerpt (President Trump): “So we are now going to start our meeting. We’ll be talking about a number of topics. One topic that we’ll bring up will be the fentanyl problem that we have in the United States, which is a tremendous problem. I’ll be asking the President to do something about that; I think he’ll be able to. … We’ll be discussing trade. And I think at some point, we’re going to end up doing something which is great for China and great for the United States.”
Except (President Xi): “Only with cooperation between us can we serve the interest of world peace and prosperity. And that is why I look forward to this meeting between the two sides, where we could have exchange of ideas or issues of mutual interest, and also, especially, to jointly map out a future for China-U.S. relationship.”
