Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and regional security during White House summit
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met at the White House to discuss the war in Ukraine, Middle East tension, and bilateral relations during Xi's state visit.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held discussions at the White House covering major international crises, including the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and the Korean Peninsula, according to official diplomatic statements.
The three-day state visit marks Xi's first official trip to the United States in over a decade. The summit follows prior requests from Ukrainian leadership urging Washington to use Beijing's diplomatic leverage to press Moscow toward de-escalation. Analysts noted Trump welcomed Xi at the aircraft steps upon his arrival, a rare protocol gesture previously extended to other world leaders. The talks reflect ongoing efforts by both nations to manage bilateral economic relations while addressing pressing global security concerns.
