From fentanyl to rare earths, President Donald Trump’s highly anticipated meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping on the last leg of his three-country Asia tour saw the world’s two biggest economies ease their trade tensions, or at least some of them.
“A lot of finalization,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One after departing Busan, South Korea, where he met Thursday with Xi for about an hour and 40 minutes, saying he would rate the “amazing” meeting a “12” on a scale from zero to 10.
While the two leaders did not ink a finalized agreement, Trump said that a deal could be signed “pretty soon” and that there were “not too many major stumbling blocks.”
Trump said that he would visit China in April, and that Xi would visit either Florida or Washington “some time after that.”
