Trump-Xi White House Talks End Without Taiwan Question Answer
President Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for bilateral talks on Thursday, with Trump calling it a "great meeting" afterward. Neither leader responded to reporters' questions about whether Taiwan or artificial intelligence were discussed. Xi arrived in the U.S. on Wednesday for a state visit, his first in 11 years, and met Trump for the second time this year following their May summit in Beijing. China's state media reported Xi stressed Beijing's clear stance on national unity and urged Washington to oppose Taiwan independence. Trump showed Xi the White House's new helipad and Marine One helicopter after the closed-door meeting. A state dinner is scheduled for Thursday evening, while both leaders declined to comment on questions regarding Taiwan, AI, and detained media mogul Jimmy Lai.
