Trump and Xi Jinping hold White House talks on Ukraine and global security

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House for bilateral discussions during Xi's three-day state visit to Washington, his first in over a decade. The high-level talks covered major international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, Middle East instability, and security on the Korean Peninsula.

Trump extended a rare diplomatic gesture by personally greeting Xi at his aircraft upon arrival. The inclusion of the Ukrainian conflict on the agenda followed a direct request from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who asked Washington to press Beijing into using its leverage over Moscow toward de-escalation. Analysts noted that Beijing could seek trade or diplomatic concessions from Washington in exchange for altering its support for Russia.
