We basically agreed on what would happen in the call.

So not let's just have a call, say, hi, nice to meet you, is a question of President Trump basically agreed that he would acknowledge the one China policy, which he didn't see as a big concession because you could always unacknowledge it the next day.

So yeah, I'll acknowledge it and then we'll go.

And in exchange, President Xi was going to come over to the U.S.

for a visit so they could sit together.

And they wanted to do it outside the White House.

And so we agreed on Mar-a-Lago, which I also thought was good because President Trump always felt much more comfortable when he was hosting at his properties.

He always felt really relaxed and it was great.

So that was really what we did.

Then the Chinese come over.

very much anticipated visit and it was incredible.

And during that meeting, President Trump basically said, look, let's just set some ground rules to this relationship.

Like, let's just not talk about Taiwan.

Like, you know, just don't do anything I don't want on the table.
