Donald Trump and Xi Jinping hold bilateral talks during US state visit
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed Ukraine, the Middle East, and global security during Xi's first US state visit in over ten years.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for high-level discussions covering major international issues, including the war in Ukraine, tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and conflict in the Middle East.
The three-day visit marked Xi’s first official state trip to the United States in more than a decade. Upon arrival, Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at the aircraft tarmac, an unusual diplomatic gesture previously extended to other world leaders.
The bilateral summit followed appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to pressure Beijing into leveraging its relationship with Moscow to encourage de-escalation in Ukraine. Discussions focused on China's diplomatic and economic stance toward Russia alongside broader geopolitical stability.
