Trump and Xi Jinping discuss Ukraine and global security at White House summit

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for high-level bilateral talks focusing on major international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and the Korean Peninsula.

The meeting marked Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader upon his arrival, a rare diplomatic gesture mirroring his previous reception of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The discussions followed requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking Washington to press Beijing into using its influence over Moscow for de-escalation. Analysts noted Beijing might leverage its position on Russia to seek economic or trade concessions from the United States.
