President Trump's trip to China could bolster economic relations, but failed to deliver a breakthrough deal, some trade and energy experts said.

President Donald Trump’s three-day trip to China was unexpectedly dominated by discussions about Taiwan and a new framework for managing Washington and Beijing's complicated relationship.

The president left Beijing following a summit with China, during which the two countries sought to stabilize their economic and political relations.

President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping concluded their summit in Beijing on Friday with both countries looking to claim the visit as a win.

China and the U.S., the world's two largest economies, wield great influence over the oil market and are using it to help plug the supply gap.

President Donald Trump's trade war with Beijing has sent U.S.-China trade into a freefall and forced companies on both sides of the Pacific to regroup.

President Donald Trump departed Beijing Thursday afternoon local time without any immediate clear signs that the US and China have resolved thorny challenges dogging the fractious relationship, but with a freshly-stabilized relationship with China leader Xi Jinping – for now.
