dw.com (Spanish) —

President Trump called his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping a "great meeting" after more than three hours of talks at the White House on Thursday, marking Xi's first state visit to the US since 2015 amid bilateral tensions. A state dinner is scheduled for the evening. The closed-door Oval Office talks followed a military ceremony, while the first ladies visited a Smithsonian museum. Trump showed Xi the White House grounds, and no major agreements are expected from the three-day visit, which aims to ease trade, tech, and geopolitical disputes. Xi urged avoiding confrontation, stressed human control over AI, and announced two giant pandas will arrive at Atlanta's zoo. This is the second Trump-Xi meeting this year, following Trump's May trip to Beijing.
