Trump and Xi toast US-China ties at state dinner

aljazeera.com —

President Donald Trump hosted Chinese leader Xi Jinping for a state dinner on Thursday, capping a day of talks between the world’s two largest economies. The summit marked Xi’s first visit to Washington in over a decade and their second meeting this year. Trump praised the US-China relationship during his toast, saying the two nations have “never gotten along better,” despite differences on Iran, Taiwan, AI, and trade. The dinner featured a guest list of tech executives and billionaires, including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman. Xi noted both leaders’ ambitions—Trump’s “Make America Great Again” and China’s national rejuvenation—as potentially mutually reinforcing. Trump also gave Xi a tour of his Marine One helicopter and new helipad, and invited guests to view a new ballroom under construction.
