Xi arrives in US to personal Trump welcome
US President Donald Trump has treated Chinese President Xi Jinping to a rare personal airport welcome, kicking off a pomp-filled state visit aimed at smoothing superpower tensions on everything from AI and trade to Iran.
US President Donald Trump personally welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping at a military airport base near Washington, kicking off a state visit aimed at easing tensions between the two superpowers. The arrival included a handshake with the Chinese leader and his wife, followed by a military flyover and a state banquet at the White House.
The visit is expected to last three days, with discussions on AI, trade, and Iran top the agenda. Despite low expectations for breakthroughs, analysts believe the visit aims to maintain a fragile diplomatic and trade truce. Chinese delegation members included Cai Qi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, but no Chinese tech executives attended. The visit comes amid a simmering trade war and concerns over AI's potential risks.
