Trump shows Xi Biden's autopen display during White House tour, drawing laughter
During a White House tour on Thursday, President Donald Trump showed Chinese President Xi Jinping a framed "autopen" display in place of former President Joe Biden's portrait, prompting Xi to break into rare laughter during his first US state visit in over a decade. Trump pointed to the presidential displays, saying "Trump, and then Trump -- and this is the autopen; it's Biden," while patting Xi on the arm, according to a video posted by the White House on X. The exchange occurred as the leaders met for high-stakes talks amid differences over Iran, trade, and artificial intelligence. Xi arrived Wednesday for a three-day visit, receiving a rare personal airport welcome from Trump and Melania at Joint Base Andrews. The leaders held closed-door Oval Office talks without a joint press conference, and China's foreign ministry said they supported hosting APEC in November and the G20 summit in December.
