US President Donald Trump met with Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing during a state visit to the Chinese capital. This was reported by UNN.
Details
During the meeting, the heads of state shook hands. The delegation includes US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth.
Meanwhile, CNN, citing its own sources, reports that Trump's meeting with Xi Jinping this week is a "capstone event designed to showcase the president's indelible mark on world history."
But while the Chinese pageantry will portray him as a respected statesman, the visit will also show how some of Trump's decisions, including a war with Iran that he cannot end, risk undermining his authority and American power
According to the authors, the turbulent global situation, deliberately created by the American president, will serve as the backdrop for this summit, unlike any meeting between US and Chinese leaders since President Richard Nixon brought China onto the world stage in the 1970s.
As a reminder
According to Bloomberg, Donald Trump will prioritize trade negotiations during his summit with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, and downplayed the amount of attention they will devote to the war with Iran.
