Trump and Xi discuss Ukraine and trade in White House talks
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington to discuss global security issues, including the war in Ukraine and regional stability.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping met in Washington during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. The three-day bilateral summit covered global security concerns, including conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, as well as Korean Peninsula stability.
The meeting follows requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to press Beijing into using its influence over Moscow. Observers note that China might seek economic or trade concessions from the US in exchange for adjusting its diplomatic alignment with Russia. Trump extended an unusual diplomatic reception by greeting the Chinese president directly at his aircraft upon arrival.
