Beijing, China: The Trump-Xi summit ended Friday with both leaders stressing cooperation, while disputes over trade, Taiwan and Iran still shaped the talks.
President Donald Trump of the United States praised President Xi Jinping of China and called friendship with China an honour.
Xi said cooperation carried more value than confrontation. AP reported that both leaders claimed progress, but major differences remained after the two-day Beijing summit.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged China to use its influence with Iran over the Strait of Hormuz crisis. AP earlier reported similar US calls before the summit.
Executives from Apple, Tesla, NVIDIA and Boeing joined the US delegation, reflecting the summit’s business focus.
