Claim 1: “last time we signed like 36 deals”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence confirms meetings between Trump and Xi and mentions discussions on trade, fentanyl, and Iran, but none of the sources mention a specific number of deals (such as '36 deals') signed during a previous meeting. The search results focus on the current summit's lack of a trade deal rather than quantifying past agreements.

Claim 3: “Washington and Beijing could sign dozens of agreements following US President Donald Trump’s visit to China”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The claim states that Washington and Beijing 'could' sign dozens of agreements, which is a prediction of future possibility. While evidence confirms a state visit occurred (Wikipedia) and Trump described it as 'very successful' (TASS), the specific prospect of 'dozens of agreements' is a forward-looking statement and cannot be proven true or false as a factual event.
