Trump and Xi hail 'new era' in US-China ties at White House dinner

President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping exchanged messages of cooperation and stability at a White House dinner, with Trump stating the two countries have "never been better" and Xi calling for a "new way for major countries to coexist." The official dinner, attended by over 100 guests including tech leaders like Mark Zuckerberg, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk, followed a day of talks. Xi emphasized "strategic stability" and referenced historical cooperation, while Trump gifted Xi a bald eagle sculpture. The event was marked by a media access dispute, as CNN reported two of its journalists were initially barred from covering Xi's arrival, following the administration's earlier restrictions on outlets accused of "fake news."
