Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and regional security during White House summit
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping met at the White House to discuss key global issues, including the war in Ukraine and Korean Peninsula security.
U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held high-level discussions at the White House addressing key global flashpoints, including the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and security on the Korean Peninsula.
The talks occurred during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. Ahead of the meeting, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had encouraged Washington to push Beijing to leverage its relationship with Moscow to achieve de-escalation in Ukraine. Analysts noted that China's ongoing strategic partnership with Russia remained a central point of focus throughout the bilateral talks. Trump extended a rare diplomatic gesture by personally greeting the Chinese leader on the tarmac upon his arrival.
