Trump and Xi Jinping discuss Ukraine and global security during Washington summit

US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping discussed the war in Ukraine, Middle East stability, and security on the Korean Peninsula during high-level bilateral talks at the White House. The meeting occurred during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade, spanning September 23 to 25.

In an unusual diplomatic gesture, Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at his aircraft ramp upon arrival. The discussions follow previous requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to leverage Beijing's diplomatic influence over Moscow to press for de-escalation. Analysts noted Beijing may seek trade or economic concessions in exchange for adjusting its position on Russia.
