"We just got a readout from the White House on this big bilateral meeting between the two presidents," said Aishah Hasnie. "They talked about expanding market access for American businesses into China. Remember, the President brought this delegation of 16 CEOs from different business and tech backgrounds. They also talked about wanting more progress on stopping the flow of fentanyl; that's something the President brought up. The Chinese purchases of American agricultural products was also something that was brought up in these discussions. And President Xi expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China's dependence on the Strait in the future. That's a really big takeaway."
There was agreement between the two nations on Iran not being able to obtain nuclear weapons, as well.
Fox News is also reporting that China will help with Iran.

Here's what the statement said:
President Trump had a good meeting with President Xi of China. The two sides discussed was to enhance economic cooperation between our two countries, including expanding market access for American businesses into China and increasing Chinese investment in our industries. Leaders from many of the United States' largest companies joined a portion of the meeting. The Presidents also highlighted a need to build on progress in ending the flow of fentanyl precursors into the United States, as well as increasing Chinese purchases of American agricultural products. The two sides agreed that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open to support the free flow of energy. President Xi also made clear China's opposition to the militarization of the Strait and any effort to charge a toll for its use, and he expressed interest in purchasing more American oil to reduce China's dependence on the Strait in the future. Both countries agreed that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon.
President Trump will remain in China until Friday, and we will be covering more from his trip.
