Xi arrives in US for state visit, Trump greets him at plane in rare move
–
Neutral summary
Chinese President Xi Jinping has arrived in the United States for a state visit running from September 23 to 25. President Donald Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania, personally greeted the Chinese leader on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, a rare break with diplomatic protocol — US presidents usually do not leave the White House to welcome foreign leaders at the airport. It is Xi's first visit to Washington in more than a decade and his first state visit to the US in eleven years. The visit was carefully negotiated over several weeks: Beijing insisted on the highest level of diplomatic protocol, and Washington eventually agreed, which guarantees Xi a guard of honor, a red carpet, a 21-gun salute and a formal welcome ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House. During the three-day visit, the leaders are expected to hold private talks at the White House on Thursday and discuss trade, artificial intelligence, Taiwan, Iran and other issues. The visit comes amid tensions: the US-China trade truce expires in less than two months, and US lawmakers are calling for international AI regulations modeled on the atomic era. According to media reports, Beijing may also offer mediation for a Trump-Kim Jong-un meeting.
