Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and regional security during US summit

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have held bilateral 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 reports citing official sources, the discussions focused on regional stability, including the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula.

The talks followed requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to urge Beijing to press Russia toward de-escalation. Analysts noted that Beijing might seek economic or trade concessions in exchange for modifying its diplomatic stance on Moscow. Trump greeted Xi upon his arrival at the aircraft, a rare diplomatic protocol previously accorded to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
