TIL Desk/World/Beijing/ Striking an optimistic note, the United States and China on Saturday decided to hold talks to reach a truce amidst the ongoing trade conflict between the two countries, saying dialogue is better than friction and confrontation.
During the much-anticipated meeting held on the sidelines of the G-20 Summit, US President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping agreed that it is in the benefit of both countries to cooperate.
“I will say that this can be a very productive meeting and I think we can go on to do something that will be truly monumental,” Trump said at the start of talks with President Xi.
Sitting in front of Trump, Xi said, “Mr President, you and I have stayed in close communication through phone calls and exchange of letters. Today I am prepared to exchange views with you on the fundamental issues concerning the growth of China and the US so as to set the direction for the relationship in the period to come.”
