President Barack Obama wrapped up his visit to China Wednesday with a new agreement to curb greenhouse gas emissions.

He announced he will move America to cut its levels of so-called carbon pollution. Chinese President Xi Jinping in turn agreed to cap China's its emissions in the future.
    
Obama is aiming to emit up to 28 percent less carbon by 2025 than the country did in 2005.
    
Wednesday's agreement follows an intense two days of talks.

"This is an ambitious goal, but it is an achievable goal," Obama said. "Although there are going to continue to be tensions and disagreements between our countries. I've consistently found President Xi willing to engage on these differences."

The U.S. and China are still at odds on the issues of Chinese computer hacking and the country's crackdown on democracy demonstrations.
