US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for talks on Ukraine, trade, and international security.
US President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House for a three-day state visit, marking Xi's first official trip to the United States in over a decade. Trump personally greeted the Chinese leader on the airport tarmac upon his arrival in an unusual ceremonial gesture.
According to statements from the Chinese Foreign Ministry, the bilateral discussions covered key geopolitical matters, including the war in Ukraine, security on the Korean Peninsula, and ongoing instability in the Middle East. The summit followed appeals from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy requesting Washington to encourage Beijing to leverage its influence over Moscow. Analysts indicated that China could potentially seek trade or economic concessions from Washington in exchange for diplomatic cooperation regarding Russia.
