President Trump on Monday touted “strong” relations with China in the wake of his Group of 20 (G-20) Summit meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping, claiming in a series of tweets that only he and the Chinese leader could reach an agreement on trade and other matters.
“President Xi and I have a very strong and personal relationship,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “He and I are the only two people that can bring about massive and very positive change, on trade and far beyond, between our two great Nations. A solution for North Korea is a great thing for China and ALL!”
The president appeared to revel in the outcome of his meeting with Xi on Saturday, where the two sides agreed to hold off on further tariff increases amid trade negotiations. The pact was seen as a step forward between the world’s top two economies as the two sides had been locked in an escalating trade dispute for months.
“My meeting in Argentina with President Xi of China was an extraordinary one. Relations with China have taken a BIG leap forward! Very good things will happen,” the president tweeted Monday morning.
