US President Donald Trump meets Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Washington for talks covering Ukraine, the Middle East, and bilateral trade relations.
US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House during Xi's three-day state visit to Washington, marking his first official trip to the United States in over ten years. Demonstrating high diplomatic standing, Trump greeted Xi directly at his aircraft upon arrival.
According to statements from China's Foreign Ministry and reporting on the White House talks, the discussions focused on international security, including the war in Ukraine, Middle East tensions, and the situation on the Korean Peninsula. The high-level meeting followed consultations between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who urged Washington to leverage China's diplomatic influence over Moscow to encourage de-escalation in Ukraine. Analysts suggest Beijing may attempt to leverage potential diplomatic movement regarding Russia in exchange for trade concessions from Washington.
