Xi arrives in US for first visit in 11 years; Trump greets at airbase

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the United States on Thursday for his first visit in 11 years, where President Trump broke protocol to greet him personally at Joint Base Andrews. A state dinner will be held at the White House tonight. The bilateral talks will cover trade, tariffs, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, and Russian energy purchases. Discussions on reducing tariffs on approximately $30 billion worth of goods are ongoing, with the current agreement expiring November 10. The US has proposed sharing AI-related security information, while China seeks reduced US support for Taiwan. This marks the third meeting between the leaders in under a year, with no major agreements reached so far. Potential further meetings could occur at November's APEC summit in Shenzhen and December's G20 summit in Miami.
