Trump meets Xi in Washington for broad security talks

US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for a landmark three-day state visit, marking Xi's first official trip to the United States in over a decade.

According to official readouts from Beijing and diplomatic reports, the discussions covered major global security topics, including the ongoing war in Ukraine, tension in the Middle East, and stability on the Korean Peninsula. The summit followed earlier appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking Washington to urge Beijing to exert influence on Moscow toward de-escalation.

While official communications stressed constructive dialogue on bilateral and global affairs, observers noted that any shifts in Beijing's policy toward Russia could involve complex geopolitical negotiations between Washington and Beijing regarding trade and regional influence.
