U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping invoked the history of U.S.-China cooperation during World War Two on Thursday, with Trump recalling American pilots who volunteered to fight in China and the Flying Tigers, while explaining the origins of the phrase “gung ho.” Trump said the two countries had worked together during the war and that he and Xi could similarly work together to build a better future for their nations. Xi also referred to the wartime cooperation in his remarks, saying Chinese people had not forgotten that history. The leaders’ references to the shared wartime past came during Xi’s state visit to Washington, where talks are focused on trade, technology, security and broader China-U.S. relations. #trump #xijinping #trumpxi #trumpxisummit #wwii #worldwarii #gung ho #gungho #flyingtigers #china #usa #chinausrelations #uschinarelations #trumpnews #chinanews #whitenhouse #washington #worldnews #breakingnews #geopolitics #history #uschina #cooperation
