Trump hosts Xi in Washington for broad talks covering Ukraine and security

US President Donald Trump held bilateral talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the White House during a three-day state visit, addressing key global security challenges including the war in Ukraine, tensions on the Korean Peninsula, and conflict in the Middle East.

The visit, marking Xi's first official trip to the United States in over a decade, featured an unusual diplomatic reception where Trump met the Chinese leader directly at the tarmac. The summit followed appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to urge Beijing to influence Moscow toward military de-escalation. While official announcements confirmed the broad scope of discussions, observers noted that Beijing could seek major diplomatic or economic trade-offs in return for adjusting its relationship with Russia.
