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

U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks at the White House during Xi's three-day state visit to the United States, his first in over a decade. Trump welcomed the Chinese leader upon arrival at the aircraft, repeating a protocol gesture previously extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to statements from China's Foreign Ministry, the discussions focused on major global security concerns, including the war in Ukraine, regional instability in the Middle East, and security on the Korean Peninsula. The high-level meeting followed a request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Trump to leverage Washington's influence to convince Beijing to push Moscow toward military de-escalation. Economic matters and trade dynamics were also on the broader summit agenda.
