00:00Just moments ago, President Trump and President Xi Jinping were on this red carpet.
00:05We are outside the Great Hall of the People, and it was a warm welcome for the president,
00:10who was the last U.S. president to actually visit in 2017 in his first term.
00:15Alongside the president, Xi Jinping shook hands with the Treasury Secretary, Scott Besson,
00:20Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has been sanctioned by China when he was a senator,
00:25and also alongside the president, was trillions of dollars when it comes to companies that were here.
00:31It's the global economy's most important relationship on full display in Beijing.
00:36The bilateral meeting got underway with President Xi posing a question.
00:41Could the United States and China avoid the cities trap, a conflict that could potentially brew
00:47when a rising power looks to exert its influence already with an existing power?
00:53President Trump, though, took a more optimistic tone.
00:55He said the relationship is better than ever.
00:58We're going to have a fantastic future together.
01:01Though, things did get a bit tense.
01:03According to Chinese readouts, we do know that Xi Jinping brought up Taiwan
01:07and talked about how it could pose a danger to the U.S.-China relationship if not handled appropriately.
01:16Everyone in Washington and around the world would be looking at what the president does or does not say.
