00:00I think there's some areas of potential cooperation.

00:06I thought it was a very constructive, positive meeting

00:08and a lot of work to do.

00:10He's absolutely right that the President

00:12has a very good relationship with President Xi.

00:14It tracks back to his first term.

00:16And, you know, obviously there are some issues

00:19we're going to have to work through,

00:20and that's to be expected with countries of our size and scope

00:23and influence in the world to global powers

00:26such as the United States and China.

00:27But I thought it was a very constructive and positive meeting

00:30and gave us some things we can work on together.

00:33Yeah, no, the odds are high.

00:34I think both sides want to see it happen.

00:36Obviously we have to build the right atmosphere

00:39and the right deliverables so that a visit isn't just a visit,

00:42but it actually has some takeaways from it that are concrete.

00:45But there's a strong desire on both sides to do it.

00:47The President wants to do it.

00:49The Chinese side wants to see it happen.

00:51President Xi said that publicly.

00:52So I think the odds are high.

00:53I don't have a date for you, but I think it's coming.

00:56It'll happen.

00:56Mr. Secretary, what do you think?

00:57The reason why I tell you there's a high probability

00:59they're going to meet is that they both want to meet.

01:01And I don't know President Xi, but I know President Trump,

01:05and, you know, I can tell you that he's committed

01:07to having that meeting happen.

01:09So the reason why I think there's high odds of it happening

01:11is they both want it to happen.

01:13So I'm sure we'll work on a date

01:14and find a mutually acceptable date for both sides,

01:18and I'm pretty confident.

01:19We want it to be a good meeting.

01:21We're going to work hard between now and whatever date that is

01:24to make sure that when that visit does happen,

01:26it's as productive as possible.

01:28But I would say that it was a very positive interaction,

01:32and constructive is the most important part.

01:34At the end of the day, look, no matter what,

01:36the United States and China have to have relations.

01:39We have to have communication.

01:40We have to be able to interact with one another.

01:42And it's just impossible for the foreign ministers

01:45of our respective countries to not engage in conversation.

01:48So I'm glad we had that meeting today.

01:50There's a lot of work to be done.

01:52No one's saying it's easy,

01:53but we do have some opportunities on some things

01:54we might be able to work on

01:55to begin to build some momentum in our relationship.

01:59I thought it was a very good meeting.

02:01I really felt encouraged by it.

02:02But look, there's work to be done.

02:04I think the Chinese position on Taiwan has been expressed.

02:08I don't think it's a mystery to anyone

02:09in terms of where they stand on it.

02:11And our position has also been expressed pretty openly.

02:15So it was not, as I said,

02:17our meeting today was not a negotiation

02:18or a back and forth on items.

02:21It was more about establishing a constructive baseline

02:25where we can continue to talk on multiple fronts,

02:27including trade, but beyond trade.

02:30Thank you, everybody.

02:30Thank you.

02:30All right, guys.

02:31Thank you.

02:32Thank you.

02:34Thank you.

02:40Thank you.
