Summit in Washington: Grand reception, long list of conflicts: Xi visits Trump

Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in Washington for a visit, during which US President Donald Trump will host him with a military parade, state dinner, and meetings with top tech executives. The two leaders' relationship is strained, with tensions between the US and China on trade, technology, and security issues. A key topic of discussion is expected to be the trade truce agreed in October, which expires on November 10, with China seeking a longer extension and the US wanting to maintain pressure.

The visit also comes amid concerns about China's growing influence in the Arctic region and its relationship with Iran and Russia.
