U.S. officials said President Donald Trump’s first meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week was an opportunity for the leaders of the world’s two largest economies to get to know each other and set up future meetings.
That was the biggest accomplishment after about 18 hours together at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort -- a visit punctuated by a U.S. missile strike on Syria Thursday night.
