US and Chinese leaders discuss Ukraine during Xi Jinping's state visit

Chinese President Xi Jinping conducted a three-day state visit to the United States, marking his first official state visit to the country in over a decade. US President Donald Trump greeted the Chinese leader upon his arrival at the aircraft, a diplomatic gesture similar to his reception of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last year.

During bilateral talks at the White House, the leaders addressed key international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, Middle East conflicts, and stability on the Korean Peninsula. The meetings followed requests from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy asking Washington to press Beijing into using its influence over Moscow toward de-escalation. Analysts note that Beijing could seek economic or trade concessions from Washington in exchange for any shift regarding its stance on Russia.
