Trump called Xi 47 times. Xi made tea. Then Trump flew 14 hours to ask in person. This is that story. In LEGO. After the Iran war didn't go the way the posters said it would, Donald Trump packed Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, and a very large ego into Air Force One and flew to Beijing looking for a deal. Xi showed him ancient trees. Xi poured him tea. Xi handed him an empty glass and called it "Of course." Trump came home with rose seeds and called it historic.
