Trump and Xi to hold White House talks Thursday; no start time set
Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in Maryland for a three-day US state visit, with his main bilateral talks with President Donald Trump scheduled for Thursday at the White House, though no specific start time has been announced. The visit coincides with a media blackout after Trump banned several outlets from the White House, disrupting pooled coverage. CNN's crew will be absent when Trump welcomes Xi at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, limiting press access to the events. Flight data confirmed Xi landed at Joint Base Andrews by 3:30pm EDT, with a grand welcome expected later that day. No further meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, and the White House has not released a timetable for Thursday's talks.
