express.co.uk —

President Donald Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping to view the White House ballroom construction site during a state dinner, calling it a "special treat" in honor of Xi's visit. The $400 million project, which Trump claims presidents have sought for 150 years, faced legal challenges from the National Trust for Historic Preservation before the Supreme Court allowed construction in August. Trump said it remains under budget and ahead of schedule. Xi's three-day US visit includes discussions on AI, Taiwan, and tariffs. Xi stated the two nations should be partners, not rivals, adding that China's rejuvenation and America's greatness can coexist.
