So day one in Beijing seems to have gone well.

The door says she is going to be open.

Jonathan Keasley is the Sky News Australia US correspondent.

He's in Beijing and is with us in the early hours.

Jonathan, morning to you.

And a good morning to you, Mike, and all your listeners.

Day one went well.

Yeah, day one did on the surface.

from both sides really uh you had this lavish ceremony filled with chinese protocol that president xi put on for donald trump as he arrived at the great hall of the people and that hospitality extended right through to a lavish banquet held in that same very venue that night filled with a menu of beijing duck fruit and ice cream as the pair

essentially heaped praise on each other.

the most strategic adversaries you can find pretty much anywhere in the world.

And now there's an offer of a return visit to the White House for September.

How much is this already signed up?

Another meeting today.

Jonathan, good to talk to you.
