Trump hosts Xi at White House for high-level security talks

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House during Xi's first state visit to the United States in over a decade. The three-day bilateral talks covered key international security matters, including the war in Ukraine, regional tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and instability in the Middle East.

The summit follows appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who asked Washington to encourage Beijing to leverage its influence over Moscow to achieve de-escalation in Ukraine. Observers noted unusual diplomatic protocol during the visit, as Trump personally met the Chinese leader at the aircraft upon his arrival. Chinese official state communications confirmed that security and global stability formed central themes of the presidential discussions.
