Trump Brings Surprise Guests to China Summit

“I brought the 30 most powerful business leaders on the planet to these talks… and they all said yes. I didn’t send the second-in-command or the vice president,” Trump said.

“I wanted the number one from each empire! Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Elon Musk, and the other titans… the best in the world are here, right in front of you,” Trump added.

“They’re here today to pay respect to you and to China. They come hungry to do business, invest, and create. From our side, it’ll be 100% reciprocal,” the president continued.

Included in those discussions was Iran, with the two leaders saying Tehran must open the Strait of Hormuz and cannot obtain a nuclear weapon.

Breaking down the discussions on “Fox & Friends” Thursday morning, co-host Brian Kilmeade made several observations based on reporting on discussions between Trump and Xi, noting especially the implications for Russia and its president, Vladimir Putin.

“It looks like he’s [Trump] saying, ‘We’re the two leaders, let’s find a way to get along.’ You know who’s having a really bad day and week or two weeks? Vladimir Putin,” Kilmeade said.
