Trump and Xi hold White House talks on Ukraine and global security

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have concluded initial talks at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. According to official statements, discussions covered major international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, regional stability in the Middle East, and security on the Korean Peninsula.

The high-level meeting followed a rare diplomatic gesture by Trump, who personally greeted Xi at his aircraft upon arrival. The summit took place shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requested Washington to pressure Beijing into encouraging Russian de-escalation. Analysts noted that Beijing's continued strategic partnership with Moscow remains a central point of leverage in international diplomatic efforts surrounding the conflict.
