Trump and Xi walked slowly together towards the Temple of Heaven, as a guide quietly explained the site. <\/p>\n

The rest of the delegation stayed some paces behind, closer to the park, as the two leaders stood in front of the striking blue and gold imperial building – part of a complex of temples where emperors would pray for good harvest.<\/p>\n

Xi was smiling as Trump appeared to be listening closely to the guide, before the Chinese leader ushered him to a spot where the two men stood silently for the cameras. <\/p>\n

The pool asked Trump how the talks were going, to which he replied \u201cgreat\u201d. <\/p>\n

As a second questioner asked if he had talked about Taiwan, Trump continued his previous thought saying \u201cgreat place, incredible, China\u2019s beautiful\u201d. <\/p>\n

Asked again if he had talked about Taiwan, Trump simply looked straight ahead, as did Xi. <\/p>\n

The question was asked a third time, after the two men had turned to walk towards steps to the temple.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Trump says talks were ‘great’ but does not answer Taiwan questionpublished at 07:07 BST 07:07 BST Tom BatemanUS…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":642159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[23,3,21,19,22,20,25,24],"class_list":["post-642158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-america","tag-news","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=642158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
