The meeting covered a range of topics including fentanyl, trade balance, and regional stability, according to a statement from the Trump-Vance transition team. Han Zheng, who conveyed greetings from President Xi Jinping and congratulated Vance on his election, is attending the inauguration as Xi's representative.
