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

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a three-day state visit, marking Xi's first such trip to the United States in over a decade. According to statements from the Chinese foreign ministry, discussions focused on major global security topics, including the war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and stability on the Korean Peninsula.

In an unusual diplomatic gesture, Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at the aircraft upon his arrival. The summit took place shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Washington to pressure Beijing to use its influence over Moscow to bring about a de-escalation in Ukraine. Analysts noted that Beijing may seek economic or trade concessions from Washington in exchange for adjusting its diplomatic alignment with Russia.
