President Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping in an X post after meeting him at the airport, calling him “strong, vibrant, and fit” and describing Xi’s wife, Peng Liyuan, as “beautiful.” Trump personally welcomed Xi and Peng at Joint Base Andrews on Wednesday, September 23, with a red carpet, honour guard, military music, and a flyover, an unusual planeside reception since US presidents typically greet foreign leaders at the White House. Xi arrived for a three-day state visit at Trump’s invitation. The visit comes as Washington and Beijing discuss trade, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals, with formal talks, a state dinner, and further engagements scheduled at the White House before Xi’s departure.
