U.S. and China extend trade truce by two months as Xi met by Trump for start of visit
Expectations of any breakthroughs are low. Analysts say the main aim of the pageantry is to maintain a fragile calm between the superpower rivals
Chinese President Xi Jinping made his first state visit to the United States on Wednesday, arriving in Washington and receiving a rare greeting from President Donald Trump. The U.S. president met his counterpart at the base's airport rather than waiting for Xi to drive to the White House. Xi's arrival marks a significant step in U.S.-China relations, as Trump is prioritizing a warm welcome for the Chinese leader.
During his arrival statement, Xi urged both nations to view each other as partners rather than rivals. He emphasized that achieving China's great rejuvenation and America's resurgence can complement one another, ultimately benefiting the world. Xi also suggested that cooperation should be the primary focus of their relationship, while competition should be kept within acceptable limits, differences managed, and peace maintained.
