US President Donald Trump departed Beijing on Friday following a final meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The leaders said they made progress in stabilising US-China relations, but deep differences remained after two days of meetings and meals. On Friday they walked the grounds of Zhongnanhai, Xi's official residence, and had a working tea and lunch.

President Trump says he's not yet made a determination on whether a major U.S. sale of arms to Taiwan can move forward, following his three-day visit to China.
