US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Korean Peninsula during Xi's state visit to Washington.

US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held discussions at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. According to official readouts from the Chinese Foreign Ministry and media reports, the two leaders addressed major global security issues, including the war in Ukraine, tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and conflict in the Middle East.

The summit follows appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to persuade Beijing to use its leverage over Moscow to push for de-escalation. Observers note Beijing could seek potential concessions on bilateral trade or diplomatic ties in exchange for altering its stance toward Russia.
