US President Donald Trump has called his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, a "smart man" amid a trade war between the two countries that has triggered an economic storm across the world. The world's two largest economies are at a crossroads after Trump imposed tariffs on China and Beijing announced retaliatory measures.

"I think President Xi is a man who knows exactly what needs to be done. He's a very smart man. He loves his country. I know that for a fact. I know him very well," told reporters at the White House.
