Donald Trump hosts Xi Jinping for White House talks on global security

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House for a three-day state visit, marking Xi's first official trip to the United States in over a decade. In a rare diplomatic gesture, Trump met the Chinese president directly at his aircraft upon landing.

According to statements from China's Foreign Ministry and reporting by The Washington Post, bilateral discussions addressed major global conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, tension on the Korean Peninsula, and Middle East stability. The talks came shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Washington to encourage Beijing to influence Moscow toward de-escalation. Political analysts suggested China might demand trade or diplomatic concessions in return for curtailing its support for Russia.
