US and Chinese leaders meet in Washington to address global security issues

Chinese President Xi Jinping conducted a three-day state visit to the United States, marking his first state visit to the country in over a decade. US President Donald Trump extended a rare diplomatic gesture by personally greeting Xi at the aircraft upon his arrival.

During high-level meetings at the White House, the two leaders addressed key international security issues, including the war in Ukraine, tensions in the Middle East, and stability on the Korean Peninsula. The broad diplomatic agenda was confirmed by official statements following the discussions.

The talks coincided with calls from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for Washington to urge Beijing to leverage its influence over Moscow. Analysts highlighted that Beijing might seek trade concessions from Washington in exchange for modifying its strategic posture regarding Russia.
