President Trump personally welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews early Thursday, a break from standard protocol. The two leaders and their spouses walked the red carpet together in a high-symbolism gesture. The visit includes a state dinner and military ceremonies. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced the US-China economic truce was extended to January 10, 2027, to allow more negotiation time. This is Xi's first US visit since 2023 and his third direct meeting with Trump. Talks are expected to cover trade, tariffs, AI, Taiwan, and conflicts involving Iran and Russia.
