Trump Welcomes China’s Xi to Washington with Planeside Ceremony and Extension of Trade Truce
WASHINGTON (AP) — Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington on Wednesday, where he was met with a rare planeside greeting from President Donald Trump after their top officials agreed to extend a trade truce until January.
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, greeted by President Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews. The welcome ceremony featured a rare planeside greeting, with both leaders standing on a 100-foot-long red carpet as they shook hands. The truce between the two nations, which involved scaling back tariffs and refraining from imposing new trade restrictions, was extended until January 10.
This extension provided the leaders with additional time to discuss issues at upcoming international summits in China in November and Florida in December. Trade, artificial intelligence, and China's actions toward Taiwan were among the main flashpoints between the two superpowers during Xi's three-day visit.
