Trump hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping for talks on Ukraine and security
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping for a state visit covering Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and Korean Peninsula stability.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for high-level bilateral talks during Xi's three-day state visit, his first to the United States in over a decade. Discussions encompassed major international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
The meeting follows requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to urge Beijing to leverage its influence over Moscow toward de-escalation. Observers noted that Beijing might seek trade or economic concessions from the United States in exchange for any diplomatic shifts regarding Russia. In an unusual diplomatic gesture, Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at his aircraft upon arrival, mirroring a similar reception given to Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last year.
