Trump and Xi Jinping hold White House talks on global security

US President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held discussions at the White House addressing key global security challenges, including the war in Ukraine, instability in the Middle East, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula. The summit took place during Xi’s three-day state visit to the United States, his first in more than a decade.

The talks coincided with appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who previously asked Washington to urge Beijing to use its leverage over Moscow to secure a de-escalation. While official readouts confirmed broad diplomatic discussions, political observers highlighted that Beijing might seek trade or geopolitical concessions from Washington in exchange for adjusting its stance on Russia.
