Trump and Xi Host Tech Elite at White House Dinner
President Trump and China's Xi Jinping concluded their talks with a formal White House dinner attended by top US tech and business leaders. The state visit followed lengthy discussions on trade, Taiwan, and artificial intelligence, with no major agreement announced. The dinner included prominent figures like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sundar Pichai, and Tim Cook. The toast used the same sparkling wine as the historic 1972 Nixon-Zhou toast, symbolizing US-China rapprochement. The East Room featured red decor, and the menu included pumpkin velouté and sesame-crusted sea bass. Trump called the closed-door meeting "great" without providing details. The visit included military honors and musical performances. The red theme referenced Chinese tradition, and the evening used the Reagan-era china service.
