\"As<\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met in Beijing on Thursday (May 14) for a\u00a0two-day summit<\/a>, with stability in bilateral ties a key goal.<\/p>\n

According to the White House, Trump and Xi agreed that the Strait of Hormuz “must remain open”. They also discussed the flow of fentanyl precursors and China\u2019s purchases of US agricultural products.<\/p>\n

During his speech at the evening state banquet, Trump also extended an invitation to Xi to visit the White House in September.<\/p>\n

The Trump-Xi summit will continue tomorrow, and so will our live coverage, as\u00a0investors await further details<\/a>\u00a0from the leaders of the world\u2019s two largest economies.<\/p>\n
