Trump, Xi put North Korea, trade aside during friendly second meeting

CHINESE President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump up aside differences on North Korea and trade when they met for the second time at the Hamburg G20 meeting, reports Bloomberg.

President Trump told President Xi it was "an honour" to have gotten to know him, and that he "appreciated the things" China's leader had done on North Korea.



After the 90-minute meeting, he tweeted: "Just left China's President Xi where we had an excellent meeting on trade & North Korea." 



Still, challenges remain. North Korea is not expected to halt its weapons programme. While Mr Trump put trade and currency on the backburner, he could start a trade war if his patience runs out on China.
