Trump and Xi Jinping hold talks on Ukraine and global security in Washington

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for high-level talks in Washington covering Ukraine, Middle East security, and trade relations.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a three-day state visit, addressing key global security challenges, including the conflict in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and stability on the Korean Peninsula. Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader upon arrival, repeating a ceremonial gesture extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a previous summit.
The bilateral meeting followed discussions between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who encouraged Washington to press Beijing for diplomatic intervention to de-escalate Russia's military campaign. Chinese officials confirmed the broad agenda, while observers highlighted potential trade and economic discussions alongside security topics during the first official Chinese state visit to the United States in over a decade.
