U.S. President Donald Trump said he has reached "a fantastic trade deal with China."

According to the White House press pool on Friday (local time), Trump made the remarks while touring Zhongnanhai in Beijing with Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Zhongnanhai, a former imperial garden located west of the Forbidden City, is the "heart of Chinese power," where key institutions including the Chinese president's office and residence and the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party are gathered. The two leaders are scheduled to continue with tea talks and a working luncheon. Trump will then board Air Force One bound for Washington, D.C.
