Trump shows Biden autopen to Xi during White House tour, China President breaks into laughter | Video
The brief exchange stood out during Xi’s first state visit to the United States in more than a decade.
During his first state visit to the United States in over a decade, Chinese President Xi Jinping broke into rare laughter during a White House tour while US President Donald Trump pointed out a framed "autopen" display in place of former President Joe Biden's portrait. The autopen, which reproduces a person's signature, was displayed instead of Biden's portrait.
Trump showed the autopen to Xi while escorting him through the White House's Presidential Walk of Fame, where displays of U.S. presidents are installed. The exchange occurred during Trump and Xi's high-stakes discussions between the world's two largest economies, focusing on issues such as the war in Iran, trade, and artificial intelligence advancements.
Their discussions took place during private Oval Office talks, which did not include a joint press conference.
