President Donald Trump plans to take Chinese President Xi Jinping to the National Archives on Friday, concluding Xi’s three-day state visit to Washington. ABC News US said the visit had drawn criticism for emphasising ceremony over substance, but supplied no details of the criticism.

President Donald Trump is scheduled to take Chinese President Xi Jinping to the National Archives on Friday, according to ABC News US. The visit is intended to conclude Xi’s three-day state visit to Washington. The National Archives holds the US Constitution and Bill of Rights, which Xi is expected to view during the stop.

The report said the state visit had been criticised as heavy on pomp and light on substance. The supplied material does not identify the critics, describe the specific criticism or provide details of the discussions held during the visit. It also does not state whether Trump and Xi planned to make remarks at the National Archives or whether agreements were reached during the three-day programme.

The planned appearance at the archives was presented as the final event of Xi’s Washington visit. No further schedule or official response is included in the available material.
