Trump and Xi hold talks on Ukraine and global security in Washington

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have held high-level talks at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. According to statements released by diplomatic officials, the bilateral discussions focused on key international issues, including the war in Ukraine, tension in the Middle East, and security across the Korean Peninsula.

The meeting comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested American leadership to urge Beijing to exert diplomatic influence on Moscow to achieve de-escalation. Analysts noted that Washington views Beijing's strategic relationship with Russia as a critical factor in potential negotiations. Trump demonstrated a notable diplomatic gesture by personally greeting Xi at his aircraft upon his arrival for the three-day summit.
