Trump rolls out the red carpet as China's Xi Jinping lands in US for 3-day state visit; Video
Xi Jinping arrived in Washington, where Donald Trump and Melania personally came to the airport to welcome him for his state visit.
Chinese President Xi Jinping touched down in Washington on Wednesday for a three-day state visit, greeted by President Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews. The airport arrival, a rare occurrence, marked the first time in over a decade that a sitting US president received a foreign leader at the airport instead of the White House.
Xi's wife, Peng Liyuan, joined the Trumps at the Maryland military base for the ceremonial welcome. The leaders' itinerary includes discussions on trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and Iran. Journalist Sehjal Gupta, who covers US politics for Hindustan Times, reports that the visit is expected to tighten ties between the two nations.
