Xi Jinping Begins Three-Day US State Visit with Rare Tarmac Welcome by Trump
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Washington for a rare three-day state visit, personally welcomed on the tarmac by US President Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews. The visit, the first in over a decade, includes a formal state dinner and discussions on trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, Iran, and critical minerals. Despite the ceremonial grandeur and military displays, expectations for major breakthroughs remain low amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. Some US lawmakers criticized the lavish welcome, urging focus on human rights and security concerns.
