US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at a White House state dinner on Thursday, where both leaders pledged stronger ties, with Xi urging the two nations to act as responsible major countries. Trump said he and Xi had "never gotten along better," presenting a bald eagle sculpture and joking about a future ballroom visit. Xi emphasized "strategic stability" and cultural ties, though experts noted no concrete progress on pressing issues. The event drew tech CEOs like Elon Musk, Tim Cook, and Mark Zuckerberg, plus cabinet officials, while protesters outside were arrested. Xi's visit continues with a tour of the National Archives before his departure.
