Trump greets Xi at airport ahead of first White House talks in 11 years

Chinese President Xi Jinping will visit the United States from September 23 to 25, meeting with President Donald Trump in Washington on September 24 for talks covering trade, AI, rare earths, Taiwan, and the US-Iran war. The visit is Xi's first to the White House in over a decade, following his 2015 state visit under President Barack Obama. It comes as Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng leads economic and trade consultations in Washington, with discussions potentially covering a trade truce extension, rare earth export licences, and Chinese purchases of US goods. Trump plans to greet Xi personally at Joint Base Andrews, with a formal White House ceremony and state dinner expected. Technology executives including Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Apple's Tim Cook, and Tesla's Elon Musk are anticipated to attend, as the leaders seek to build on their May meeting in Beijing.
