US President Donald Trump said relations between the United States and China had “never gotten along better” during a state dinner, according to NDTV. Chinese President Xi Jinping attended the dinner. The supplied material does not provide the date or location beyond identifying the event as a state dinner, nor does it describe any formal discussions held there.
Trump also presented Xi with an eagle statue. He said the item had been designed “in personal collaboration with Melania and myself.” The supplied report does not explain the significance of the statue, identify its maker or provide details about how Xi responded to the gift. It also gives no further information about the state of US-China relations, the subjects discussed by the leaders or any agreements announced during their meeting.
No comments from Xi are included in the material. Trump’s assessment of the relationship was therefore made in a ceremonial setting, while the gift was described as a personal presentation involving Trump and Melania Trump. The source provides no independent assessment of the relationship or additional context for the president’s remark.
