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

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for high-level bilateral talks during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade.

According to statements from the Chinese foreign ministry and diplomatic reports, the discussions focused on major international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, and stability on the Korean Peninsula. Trump provided a rare diplomatic reception by greeting the Chinese leader directly at his aircraft upon arrival.

The summit follows recent appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to press Beijing to use its leverage over Moscow to encourage de-escalation. Analysts noted that Beijing could potentially seek trade concessions from the US in exchange for adjusting its diplomatic posture toward Russia.
