Donald Trump greeted Chinese President Xi Jinping on the tarmac at a military airbase near Washington DC on Wednesday, as Xi began a three-day state visit to the United States, France 24 reported.
The meeting at the airbase preceded a White House welcome scheduled for Thursday, according to background reports in the source package. The visit was expected to include discussions on trade, artificial intelligence and Taiwan, but the material does not confirm what was discussed.
France 24 described Trump’s arrival greeting as a first for a US president. The source package does not independently verify that claim.
The reported agenda and planned welcome remain prospective in the available material; it records no meeting outcomes or agreements.
