And President Trump is back at the White House this morning after a high-stakes summit in China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping rolled out the red carpet, there it is, for President Trump, but there were few details about the economic deals the president said were reached between the two countries.
Meanwhile, questions are now swirling about the future of the US relationship with Taiwan.
Let's get the latest from Olivia Bernaldi at the White House.
Olivia, good morning.
Good morning, Adriana.
President Trump said China agreed to purchase American beef, soy beans, and Boeing jets during that summit in Beijing.
But overshadowing the visit were some major policy flashpoints, such as Iran and Taiwan.
All I can say is that was a great success.
The US and China worked to restore stability in their rocky relationship during a two-day visit that was filled with pageantry and diplomacy.
But it was the future of Taiwan, an island about 100 miles off of mainland China, that Xi Jinping warned could threaten the friendship.
With Taiwan, he feels very strongly.
I made no commitment either way.
President Trump said a $14 billion weapons package to Taiwan is still under review.
I may do it, I may not do it.
It's a very good negotiating chip for us, frankly.
Pulling back aid to Taiwan would be a sign of a significant shift in US foreign policy, and one that congressional Republicans balked at.
Our position on Taiwan, they need to be stay independent and secure there, and we have an interest in that as is everybody around the world.
think we should do anything to undermine Taiwan's defense posture.
We should be bolstering it.
There was a different island, this one 90 miles off of the coast of Florida, that US officials visited this week.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe's trip to Cuba came as sources tell CBS News the Trump administration is taking steps to indict Raul Castro, the 94-year-old former president of Cuba and brother of Fidel Castro in connection with the downing of humanitarian aid planes 30 years ago.
Cuba is in the midst of an energy crisis fueled by the US blockade there, plunging the country into darkness.
And on Iran, We did discuss Iran.
We feel very similar Iran.
We want that to end.
President Trump said both he and Xi Jinping agree that Tehran cannot have a nuclear weapon, but he stopped short of asking China for help to end the war.
I'm not asking for any favors cuz when you ask for favors, you have to do favors in return.
We don't need favors.
President Trump invited the Chinese leader to the US for a visit in September.
Meanwhile, China will be hosting another world leader next week, Russia's Vladimir Putin.
Meg.
Olivia, thank you.
