Chinese President Xi Arrives in US for Three-Day State Visit, Trump Welcomes Him Personally
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the United States on Wednesday for a three-day state visit, where he was personally welcomed by US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump at Joint Base Andrews. The delegation included Vice Premier Cai Qi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, with the visit concluding on Friday. Although a state banquet is scheduled at the White House, experts anticipate few major breakthroughs as both nations work to maintain a truce in their trade war. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that this trade truce, originally set to expire on November 10, has been extended until January 10. The diplomatic meeting occurs amid strained relations due to ongoing disputes over trade, technology, Iran, and Taiwan.
