Trump personally welcomes China’s Xi on the tarmac for landmark state visit

US President Donald Trump greets Xi Jinping on the tarmac at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, as the Chinese president begins his historic three-day state visit to the United States.

It represents a very rare protocol gesture for a US president receiving a visiting foreign leader – with heads of state usually received at the White House.

Xi is making his first state visit to Washington in more than a decade. Talks at the White House follow on Thursday, with trade talks high on the agenda – and that US-China trade truce set to expire this November – as well as critical minerals, artificial intelligence and Taiwan.
