On the second day of Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the United States, both leaders met at the White House to discuss various issues. They announced a "new joint arrangement" without specifying its details. Trump and Xi also addressed several irritants between their countries.
Following the White House meeting, Trump and Xi proceeded to more substantive discussions, but the specifics of these conversations have not been released yet. The two presidents kicked off what is expected to be a highly consequential summit.
In addition to the talks with the two national leaders, a small group of Chinese CEOs arrived in the United States with US visas. These individuals are awaiting invitations to attend the state dinner that President Xi will host for President Trump.
Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan, known for her role in promoting China's fashion soft power, accompanied her husband at the summit. Her presence has been seen as emblematic of China's growing influence globally.
Interestingly, the receptions for Trump and Xi in the United States have been markedly different. This has fueled speculation and debate about the varying treatment of the two leaders by the American government.
