US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to conclude a crucial summit amid tensions in West Asia and fears over global oil supplies. The meeting comes as Iran tightens control over the Strait of Hormuz and seizes a commercial vessel near UAE waters.

President Donald Trump on Thursday responded to Chinese President Xi Jinping's comment about the "Thucydides Trap" during their state visit, in which Xi appeared to reference the political theory that a dominant power's fear of a rising power could lead to war.

The image of two superpowers on similar footing was exactly what Chinese President Xi Jinping aimed to achieve with the visit, analysts said.

Is the president dealing in international relations or making a movie?

US President Donald Trump spent his final morning in Beijing in Zhongnanhai — the highly secretive, tightly guarded leadership compound of China’s ruling Communist Party.

Xi’s spread was a nod to his nation’s culture — and staffers and press noshed on President’s Trump favorite standby.

President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met on Thursday and discussed topics ranging from market access for U.S. businesses in China to the Strait of Hormuz.
