Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and global conflicts in Washington
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House to discuss Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and security on the Korean Peninsula during Xi's state visit.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held bilateral talks at the White House during Xi's three-day state visit to Washington, according to statements released by Chinese official sources and reported by Western media.
The discussions encompassed major international issues, including the conflict in Ukraine, security on the Korean Peninsula, and ongoing tensions in the Middle East. The meeting followed recent consultations between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to encourage Beijing to leverage its strategic relationship with Moscow toward de-escalation.
Observers note that Xi’s first official state visit to the US in over a decade comes as Washington seeks Beijing's help in curbing Russian aggression, while analysts suggest China could seek trade or diplomatic concessions in return.
