Trump and Xi hold high-level talks during Chinese leader's state visit to US

Chinese President Xi Jinping has commenced a three-day state visit to the United States, marking his first state visit to the country in over a decade. US President Donald Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader upon his arrival, a rare protocol gesture previously extended during high-profile international encounters.

According to official releases, the bilateral talks at the White House focused on key global security matters, including the conflict in Ukraine, stability on the Korean Peninsula, and ongoing tensions across the Middle East. The summit follows recent requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to persuade Beijing to leverage its relationship with Moscow to encourage de-escalation in Europe. Analysts note that discussions surrounding China's diplomatic and economic ties with Russia remain a central point of international attention during the visit.
