Trump, Xi To Talk Trade, AI, Iran War At US-China Bilateral Meet

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Maryland, outside Washington for his three-day state visit to the United States from September 23 to 25 on Wednesday. US President Donald Trump treated Xi and his wife Peng Liyuan to a rare personal airport welcome as they descended from the plane.

This is the first time since 1962 that a US president has personally welcomed a foreign leader at the base. Trump was denied an airport greeting courtesy when he visited Beijing in May.

Xi was accompanied by his right-hand man Cai Qi and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, among others, according to Chinese state media.
