Chinese President Xi Jinping

has completed a whirlwind 43-hour trip

to the United States, his first state visit to the country in more than a decade, with US President Donald Trump

pulling out all the stops to make it a grand affair.

They also attended a state dinner in Xi’s honour with top business leaders, held a tea meeting and visited the National Archives. Here are the key takeaways.

Both sides also finalised the Board of Trade mechanism and are set to announce non-sensitive sectors and products capped at US$30 billion each for tariff reduction.

US trade chief Jamieson Greer told CNBC on Friday that Washington and Beijing had reached an agreement on a slice of “managed trade” and that more of it would be published on Monday.
