Trump shows Xi America's founding documents at National Archives
President Trump concluded Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit with a tour of the National Archives, showcasing America's founding documents to the Communist leader. The tour was led by U.S. Archivist Bradford Wilson. Trump highlighted the contrast between China's 6,000-year history and America's 250-year-old democracy, expressing pride in the latter. The visit followed closed-door meetings and a state dinner, where the leaders discussed trade, including Chinese purchases of U.S. farm products, and agreed on healthy competition in artificial intelligence. Trump also confirmed the pair discussed the Iran war, a sensitive topic given Beijing's strategic partnership with Tehran. The leaders departed on a red carpet as the Chinese couple left for the airport.
