Donald Trump and Xi Jinping hold White House talks on Ukraine and global security

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have held high-level negotiations at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. According to statements from Chinese officials and media reports, the discussions covered major global security concerns, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and stability in the Middle East.

The three-day summit follows requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to encourage Beijing to influence Moscow toward de-escalation. Observers noted an unusual diplomatic gesture when Trump greeted Xi directly at his aircraft upon arrival. Analysts suggest Beijing may attempt to leverage its position regarding Russia to secure economic or diplomatic concessions from Washington during the negotiations.
