Following their summit, U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held a tea time meeting at the White House on the 25th local time.

President Trump once again came out personally to greet President Xi and his wife.

The two leaders sat down for talks face-to-face for the third consecutive day.

The tea meeting took place in the Red Room, one of the White House's most prominent reception rooms decorated in red wallpaper and furnishings.

Given that red is considered a symbol of good luck in China, the gesture was seen as President Trump showing consideration for President Xi and his wife.

President Trump expressed satisfaction, stating that tremendous progress had been made in the summit.

[Donald Trump / U.S. President: The United States is extremely satisfied with this visit, and I am confident China is as well. It has been a very beneficial and productive meeting for both nations.]

President Xi noted that there would be two more opportunities to meet within the year, signaling that he could visit the United States once again.

[Xi Jinping / Chinese President: We have two more opportunities to meet this year through the APEC summit in China and the G20 summit in the United States.]

Following this, the two leaders and their spouses moved to the National Archives near the White House to view the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution together.

With this final schedule, President Xi concluded his first state visit to the U.S. in 11 years and departed Washington.

U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer stated that the summit yielded achievements in trade negotiations with China, adding that the results will be unveiled next Monday local time.
