Trump shows Xi his new helipad and portrait of autopen
During a Thursday visit to the White House, President Donald Trump showed Chinese leader Xi Jinping his new Presidential Walk of Fame installation, which replaces a portrait of Joe Biden with a framed picture of an automatic pen, prompting Xi to laugh heartily. Trump led Xi along the Rose Garden colonnade, highlighting the display that includes portraits of his predecessors, with Biden's blurb reading "Sleepy Joe Biden was, by far, the worst President in American History." Trump also gave Xi a tour of a new granite helipad on the South Lawn, which he praised for its "million-year life." Trump told reporters Xi has "a great interest in granite" and is "an expert on stone," while Xi remained silent. The visit also included Melania Trump showing Peng Liyuan Sino-American art at the Smithsonian, with a state dinner and a trip to the National Archives planned for Friday.
