Trump and Xi hold high-level White House talks on Ukraine and regional security
US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held bilateral talks at the White House, discussing Ukraine, regional security, and economic relations.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held discussions at the White House during Xi’s three-day state visit to the United States. According to official statements, the bilateral agenda encompassed economic ties, Middle East stability, security on the Korean Peninsula, and the war in Ukraine.
Trump extended a rare diplomatic greeting by meeting Xi directly at his aircraft upon arrival. The talks follow a recent request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking Washington to urge Beijing to use its diplomatic influence on Moscow to foster de-escalation. Analysts noted that Beijing's stance on Moscow remains a pivotal element in ongoing high-level negotiations between Washington and Beijing.
