U.S. President Donald Trump says he hopes ties between Washington and Beijing will be “stronger and better than ever before” as he holds the second and final day of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing. Trump makes the remarks in a social media post, alongside statements about what he describes as policy successes. He also reiterates criticism of the administration of former U.S. President Joe Biden. Trump argues that when Xi referred to the United States as a “declining nation,” Xi was not referring to the United States during Trump’s time in office. Instead, Trump says Xi was referring to the period under Biden and the “tremendous damage” he attributes to that administration. Trump adds that he is receiving praise from Xi for achievements made in what he describes as a short time. The articles do not specify where or when Xi made the “declining nation” comment.
