Trump and Xi Tour U.S. National Archives, Discuss Key Issues
President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan at the U.S. National Archives on September 25, viewing documents tied to America's 250th anniversary and U.S.-China relations history. The visit followed a tea meeting at the White House. Xi emphasized respecting differences and seeking common ground between the two nations. Trump noted the contrast between America's 250-year history and China's 6,000-year heritage, while praising the meeting as productive. Trump said discussions covered "everything," including the U.S.-Iran war and the Strait of Hormuz, expressing optimism about outcomes. The Chinese delegation departed afterward from Joint Base Andrews with a 21-gun salute.
