U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to meet on Friday to wrap up a two-day state visit marked by pomp and business deals, but also a stark warning from Xi that mishandling the Taiwan issue could push U.S.-China relations to a very dangerous place.
The two leaders are scheduled to have tea and lunch before Trump flies back to the United States. The summit aims to maintain a fragile trade truce struck in October.
Trump has also been expected to urge China to convince Iran to make a deal with Washington. However, U.S. courts have limited his ability to levy tariffs at will.
China agreed to order 200 Boeing jets, its first purchase of U.S.-made commercial jets in nearly a decade, though that total was much lower than markets expected.
Xi's remarks on Taiwan came in a closed-door meeting. He warned that mishandling the issue could endanger relations.
