WASHINGTON, 14th May, 2026 (WAM) -- US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a "good" meeting in Beijing on Thursday (May 14, 2026), the White House said.

''The two sides discussed ways to enhance economic cooperation, including expanding market access for American businesses into China and increasing Chinese investment in US indsutries," the White House said in a statement.

Both countries, it added, agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
