Guys, have you ever had a relationship, friendship perhaps, that's got a bit awkward and then suddenly you've got to see that person again?

So bygones being let bygones.

Let's see if that maybe is one of the many themes this week as Donald Trump and Xi Jinping meet the presidents of the world's two biggest economies aiming to reset that relationship.

That's today's episode of Business Daily from the BBC World Service.

I'm Will Bain here in the studio in the UK.

Yes, in the last couple of hours before we started recording, guys, President Trump descending the stairs of Air Force One in Beijing, the first US president in almost 10 years to visit China.

And in between, quite a lot's gone on, Michelle.

Michelle, you talked about all the things that have changed in that decade.

One word, I guess, has been with us throughout that period, though, hasn't it?

Tea for tariffs.

Well, let's hear from the man himself, shall we, about how he's setting all of that out, because he's had some pretty strong words in the past, hasn't he, to say about China.

This was him talking about those tariffs just last year.

So President Trump really at the kind of crux of the argument between economically, certainly between the two countries.

Let's go back to their first meeting.

This was 2017 at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

President Xi threw an interpreter.

I've heard in the American media people talking about the three Bs, Boeing, beans, beef.

You're listening to Business Daily from the BBC World Service, where today we're pulling out what the business and economic implications could be from President Trump's trip to China with our business presenter, Ryle Tanton, here in the studio with me and our North America business correspondent, Michelle Fleury, in New York City.

Now, how good are you two at packing a bag at short notice?
