Donald Trump said he and Chinese President Xi Jinping had forged a “truly great friendship” as the two leaders met at the White House, according to live coverage by The Guardian. Trump noted that Xi was the first Chinese leader to make a second formal visit to the White House. The meeting was attended by senior officials including Vice-President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Xi said China and the United States must ensure that artificial intelligence remains under human control. The coverage also reported that he backed a US-Iran deal intended to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Separate summit analysis said the leaders sought more stable bilateral ties, but disagreements over Iran, Taiwan and trade were not resolved.
