Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Thursday, the second day of Trump's state visit to China.
Trump said he believed "things will happen" on the ongoing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) crisis. "I think you're going to help us a lot with the menace of North Korea (DPRK)," Trump said to Li.
Trump said he had tremendous meetings earlier on trade and the DPRK and that there were only warm feelings towards China, at his meeting with Premier Li.
Trump has brought more than two dozen captains of U.S. industry with him on this trip. These major business figures represent the energy, industrial, financial services and agricultural industries.
In the past two days, deals worth a total of 253.5 billion U.S. dollars have been agreed to, setting a record for China-U.S. trade relations.
Trump arrived in Beijing Wednesday afternoon for a three-day state visit. It is Trump's first visit to China since he assumed the presidency in January. He is the first head of state to visit China since the landmark 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Trump held an expanded bilateral meeting with focuses on the DPRK and trade relations earlier on Thursday, after a grand welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People.
