Trump jokes about Biden during White House tour with Xi Jinping

fr.de (German) —

President Donald Trump mocked former President Joe Biden during a White House tour with Chinese President Xi Jinping, pointing to a display he called "the autopen" and joking "that's Biden," which drew laughter from Xi during Thursday's summit. The leaders discussed Iran, Russia's war in Ukraine, and Korean Peninsula tensions, with Xi calling for renewed US-Iran diplomacy and supporting a return to the interim agreement reached after the June conflict. Xi also announced two pandas, Pingping and Fushuang, will arrive at Zoo Atlanta as part of Chinese diplomacy. The visit included tense moments as Chinese press corps members clashed with White House staff over positioning, while Trump separately faced scrutiny over a Truth Social photo appearing to show aide Natalie Harp instead of First Lady Melania Trump. Xi departed mid-afternoon and will return for a state dinner.
