Trump and Xi discuss global security during White House summit

US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping concluded high-level talks at the White House during Xi’s three-day state visit to the United States. According to official statements from both governments, the discussions covered the war in Ukraine, Middle Eastern stability, and security on the Korean Peninsula.

The summit followed appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who asked Washington to encourage Beijing to leverage its diplomatic influence over Moscow for de-escalation in Eastern Europe. Observers noted Trump meeting Xi directly at his aircraft steps upon arrival, a rare diplomatic gesture previously extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Both leaders sought to navigate trade tensions while addressing major international security challenges.
