China confirms Xi to visit US this week for Trump talks

China's leader Xi Jinping will be visiting the United States this week for talks with President Donald Trump, Beijing announced on Monday. Xi is scheduled to be in the US from Wednesday to Friday, according to a government statement. Foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun disclosed that the two leaders would engage in a detailed exchange of views on key issues related to China-US relations and global peace and development.

Beijing aims to collaborate with the US to enhance the substance of the relationship characterized by constructive strategic stability between the two nations, strengthen dialogue and cooperation, and address differences appropriately, Guo added. The White House had previously confirmed that the leaders of the world's two largest economies were set to meet during the week, signaling a potential effort to ease tensions over trade, technology, and broader strategic concerns.

Trump personally greeted Xi upon his arrival at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, prior to their scheduled meetings the following day. When Trump visited Beijing for a state visit in May, he was welcomed by China's Vice President.
