Trump hosts Xi for state dinner at White House

skai.gr (Greek) —

President Donald Trump is hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping at a formal White House dinner during Xi's official visit to the United States. The event is described as "magnificent" and will feature a menu combining American ingredients with subtle Chinese influences. First Lady Melania Trump's office released details of the menu, which begins with a toast of Schramsberg Blanc De Noir wine, the same vintage shared by Richard Nixon and Zhou Enlai in 1972. The first course is a butternut squash velouté with wild mushrooms and crispy pork belly, followed by sesame-crusted sea bass with baby bok choy and roasted eggplant. Dessert will be vanilla crème with White House honey ice cream, walnut frangipane, and cherry confit. Tenor Christopher Macchio, who performed at Trump's 2025 inauguration, will sing, with musical entertainment also provided by Marine Corps and Army bands. Trump has promised the dinner will be "impressive."
