President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House on Thursday for a high-profile state summit with the aim of bolstering their relationship despite underlying tensions. This marks Xi's first visit to Washington in over a decade, while Trump extended a similar warm welcome to Xi that he received in China in May.

Analysts predict limited tangible outcomes, with the summit primarily serving as an opportunity for both leaders to showcase their nations' might.
