President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping finally sat down together on Thursday after six years apart. The two leaders met at a military air base in Busan, South Korea, and talked for almost two hours about fixing the ongoing trade problems between their countries.
The meeting happened while other world leaders gathered nearby for an economic summit in Gyeongju. Trump told reporters afterward that the conversation went really well and that he and Xi found common ground on most issues as per Politico. When they first met, Trump praised Xi and said he expected their countries to work together smoothly going forward. Xi agreed but noted that disagreements between the two biggest economies in the world are normal.
