Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and global security during White House summit
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping discussed the war in Ukraine, Middle East stability, and bilateral relations during a state visit to Washington.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held detailed talks at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. According to statements from the Chinese Foreign Ministry and official readouts, the leaders addressed key geopolitical issues, including the war in Ukraine, tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and instability in the Middle East.
The summit follows recent appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who asked Washington to encourage Beijing to leverage its relationship with Moscow to push for de-escalation in Ukraine. Political analysts suggest Beijing could seek trade concessions or diplomatic compromises from Washington in exchange for curbing its support for Russia's military effort.
