Donald Trump was on a two-day visit to China. Today marked the second and final day of his trip, after which he departed for the United States aboard Air Force One. The biggest question now is whether any deal was reached during the visit or not.
During his two-day stay in Beijing, Donald Trump held several meetings before departing for the United States today aboard Air Force One.
China’s media is describing the visit as ‘historic and a milestone.
Two days have passed and several meetings have been held, but so far no major trade agreement has been announced between the two countries.
Can it be assumed that the two countries were unable to reach a major trade deal?
Donald Trump has left for the United States as per his schedule, and it is expected that he may comment on the issue while speaking to reporters during the flight.
According to reports so far, the two leaders discussed issues such as trade, oil supply, Iran, and Taiwan.

A joint press conference revealed that the leaders of both countries discussed trade, Iran, and several other issues during their bilateral talks.
So far, not much information has been shared about the discussions between the two leaders (Donald Trump and Xi Jinping), especially on disputed issues such as Taiwan.
So far, no major trade deal has been announced, even though the U.S. delegation included business representatives during the visit to China.
In an interview with Fox News, Donald Trump said that China has promised to buy oil from the United States and purchase 200 Boeing aircraft. However, there has been no official statement from the Chinese side so far.

The U.S. president said on Friday that Xi Jinping also supported the view that Iran should not possess nuclear weapons and should not be allowed to acquire them. Xi Jinping has reportedly backed this position.
Donald Trump told reporters that Xi Jinping believes Iran does not possess nuclear weapons and wants Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz.
He said that China will buy billions of dollars worth of soybeans from the United States.
There have been no changes in the United States’ policy on Taiwan. China has stated that there will be no conflict over the issue.
Donald Trump said, ‘I consider him the president of China, and I respect him,’ when asked by reporters whether Xi Jinping is a dictator.
