U.S. President Donald Trump invites Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the White House on September 24, following meetings during a state visit to Beijing. Multiple outlets report that Trump makes the invitation during a banquet or state dinner at the Great Hall of the People, where both leaders also exchange toasts. The White House statement cited by one outlet says the two sides discuss ways to enhance economic cooperation, alongside the invitation.
China then formally accepts the invitation, with reporting stating that Beijing informs that Xi has officially accepted Trump’s invitation to Washington this fall. The sources describe the planned visit as part of ongoing U.S.-China engagement, with the date specifically set for September 24 and presented as occurring at the White House in Washington.
While the outlets differ slightly in wording—such as whether the invitation is described as being extended during a banquet toast—the overall accounts converge on the key points: the September 24 date, the invitation by Trump in Beijing, and China’s official acceptance for Xi’s White House visit.
