On “Elizabeth Vargas Reports”: President Trump returns to the White House after a whirlwind trip to China and a historic visit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Trump called the trip a “great success," but he was evasive on the topic of Taiwan, which Xi said was the most important issue the two leaders discussed. Why is Trump being ambiguous?

During his trip to China, Trump urged Xi to release businessman Jimmy Lai, who was imprisoned for creating a newspaper critical of the country’s Communist government. Lai’s daughter, Claire Lai, tells “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” what her family and the Trump administration are doing to fight for her father’s release.
