What happened

President Donald Trump is returning to Washington, D.C., on Thursday after six days in Asia. Before boarding Air Force One in South Korea, he met for an hour and 40 minutes with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump called the meeting “amazing” and a “12” on a scale of one to 10, and said he was cutting tariffs on Chinese goods to an average of 47% from 57%. Shortly before sitting down with Xi, Trump posted on social media that he had “instructed” the Pentagon to “start testing our Nuclear Weapons on an equal basis” with China and Russia, a process that “will begin immediately.”
