"I would rate the meeting today between the two presidents as hugely significant to not only the economies of the United States and China, but the global economy. The global economy is very much intertwined with supply chains and logistics networks spreading well beyond just the US and China. In terms of the outcomes, the outcomes that I think I would like to see today, it is already a significant occasion with the two presidents meeting in person, which doesn't happen every year. And so from outcomes, I think mutual understanding across areas where the two countries can work together, increasing the number of areas of collaboration."

U.S. President Donald Trump's state visit to China will help expand cooperation between the world's two largest economies amid growing global uncertainty, according to a business insider.

Elliott Johnson, founder of Byron East, a platform to provide business consulting services in China, said the encounter is "hugely significant" not only for the two countries' economies, but for the global economy as well.

With the two leaders meeting in person, an event that does not occur every year, the visit is being viewed as a pivotal opportunity to set the tone for future cooperation between the two countries, he said.

"I would rate the meeting today between the two presidents as hugely significant to not only the economies of the United States and China, but the global economy. The global economy is very much intertwined with supply chains and logistics networks spreading well beyond just the US and China.

And so from outcomes, I think mutual understanding across areas where the two countries can work together, increasing the number of areas of collaboration," said Johnson.

At the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump is on a state visit to China from Wednesday to Friday.

A business delegation, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook, and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, accompanied Trump on this visit.
