President Trump personally welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan at Joint Base Andrews, praising Xi as "strong, vibrant, and fit" and calling Peng "beautiful" in a social media post. The airport reception featured a red carpet, honor guard, military music, and a flyover, marking the start of Xi's three-day state visit. Trump's decision to travel to the airbase was unusual, as foreign leaders are typically received at the White House. Xi's visit, at Trump's invitation, comes amid discussions on trade, artificial intelligence, and critical minerals. Formal talks at the White House, a state dinner, and further engagements are scheduled before Xi departs.
