Donald Trump and Xi Jinping hold state summit in Washington
US President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington to discuss major global security issues, including the war in Ukraine and Middle East stability.
US President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington for a three-day state visit, marking Xi's first official trip to the United States in over ten years.
According to official readouts, the bilateral agenda focused heavily on international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, stability on the Korean Peninsula, and conflict in the Middle East. The summit follows prior calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to urge Beijing to exert diplomatic influence on Moscow.
Trump's direct greeting of Xi upon his arrival underscored the weight of the negotiations, where analysts suggest trade policy and global influence remain tightly linked to discussions surrounding China's relationship with Russia.
