presidents and have four pillars: Diplomatic and Security Dialogue;
Comprehensive Economic Dialogue; Law Enforcement and Cybersecurity Dialogue; and Social and Cultural Issues Dialogue.
"The two sides
agreed to undertake an ambitious agenda and meeting schedule to show
progress and demonstrate meaningful results," he said
They had several rounds of meetings over the last two days
"This
visit was a great opportunity for both presidents and their wives to
get to know one another, enjoy meals together, and work on important
issues. Each side also brought a senior delegation that was also able to
build relationships for the work ahead," Spicer said

the two leaders had positive and productive meetings, Spicer said Trump
and Xi agreed to work in concert to expand areas of cooperation while
managing differences based on mutual respect.
They reviewed the
state of the bilateral relationship and noted the importance of working
together to generate positive outcomes that would benefit the citizens
of both the countries.
During the meeting, Trump highlighted the
challenges caused by the Chinese government's intervention in its
economy and raised serious concerns about the impact of China's
industrial, agricultural, technology, and cyber policies on American
jobs and exports.
Spicer said Trump underscored the need for China
to take concrete steps to level the playing field for American workers,
stressing repeatedly the need for reciprocal market access.
"The
two sides noted the urgency of the threat of North Korea's weapons
programmes, reaffirmed their commitment to a denuclearised Korean
peninsula and committed to fully implement UN Security Council resolutions," Spicer said.
Trump and Xi agreed to increase cooperation and work with the international community to convince North
Korea to peacefully resolve the issue and dismantle its illegal nuclear
and missile programmes, he said, adding that the two sides had a candid
discussion on regional and maritime security.
"President Trump noted
the importance of adhering to international rules and norms in the East
and South China Seas and to previous statements on non-militarisation.
He also noted the importance of protecting human rights and other values
deeply held by Americans," Spicer said.
