US President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he discussed the release of political prisoners with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping during their meeting last week.
"I did with President Xi. I did. We talked, and I think we had some very, very important discussions. Hopefully, fruitful discussions," Trump told reporters at the White House.
Trump hosted Xi for a high-stakes summit at the White House last Thursday.
The two leaders met again Friday for a private tea session and reviewed pictorial and text archives in Washington before Xi returned home, concluding his three-day state visit to the US.
