Yhdysvaltojen ja Kiinan väliset suhteet, samoin kuin henkilökohtaiset suhteeni presidentti Xi Jinpingiin, ovat erittäin hyvät, ja molemmat ymmärrämme tämän hyvän suhteen ylläpitämisen tärkeyden. Uskon, että kolmivuotisen presidenttikauteni aikana presidentti Xi Jinpingiin ja Kiinan kansantasavaltaan liittyvä työ tuottaa monia myönteisiä tuloksia.
