Trump and Xi make firm commitment to denuclearisation as US president blames past administrations for refusing closer ties with China

President Donald Trump said Thursday in Beijing that he and President Xi Jinping agree 'there's a solution' to conflict with North Korea. 'I do believe there's a solution to that, as you do,' he said of their stance on North Korea. Trump said he and Xi 'agreed not to replicate failed approaches of the past, and there were many,' as they dealt with the 'very serious nuclear menace.' Trump also told reporters during the meeting that he does not blame China for its gigantic trade deficit with the U.S. The leaders are seen together left as they deliver the joint statement and are pictured right during a welcoming ceremony
