Trump hosts Xi in Washington for talks on Ukraine and global security
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington to discuss global security issues, including the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a three-day state visit, addressing major international conflicts including the war in Ukraine, the Middle East, and security on the Korean Peninsula. Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader at the aircraft upon arrival, repeating a ceremonial gesture previously extended to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The bilateral summit followed discussions between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to request Chinese intervention to help de-escalate Russia's military campaign. Analysts note Beijing could potentially offer shifts regarding its stance on Moscow in exchange for economic or trade benefits from the United States.
