President Donald Trump welcomes Chinese President Xi Jinping to the White House for Xi’s first state visit to Washington in more than a decade, with White House ceremonies marking the occasion. Trump greets Xi at Joint Base Andrews, and the visit includes a formal White House state dinner and other high-profile events. The visit runs from Wednesday to Friday, according to Chinese officials.

Across outlets, the trip is presented as both a public display of stable ties and a setting for disputes that remain unresolved. Reuters-style coverage emphasizes symbolism and hospitality, while others stress that tensions underlie the pageantry, particularly over trade, technology and national security. Several reports note that Trump and Xi publicly praise the relationship while differing positions remain clear.

Reported discussion topics include artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and Iran. One outlet says Xi lays out “red lines,” urging that AI remain under human control and pressing for prudence regarding Taiwan, while another focuses on how both leaders seek to manage a “superpower rivalry.” Some reporting also highlights trade coordination, including an extension of a U.S.-China trade truce. Several accounts describe the welcome as unusually ceremonial, but not necessarily a sign of near-term breakthroughs.
