During a private tea session in the White House’s Red Room to mark the end of Xi Jinping’s state visit, US President Donald Trump struck a relaxed tone, marvelling across the table at how fast the Chinese leader had made the trip to America.
“It’s a very fast plane … the fastest plane,” Trump said, in footage captured after the White House TV press pool resumed coverage following a court ruling that restored access to outlets previously banned by the US president.
“It was due to its route,” Xi replied. “We go by Russia, Alaska, Canada, and then into the US.”
“That’s fantastic,” Trump responded.
