President Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington on Thursday, greeting him personally at Joint Base Andrews before hosting a White House meeting and state dinner — the first time Trump has traveled to the base to receive a foreign leader. During the visit, Xi called for U.S.-China cooperation on artificial intelligence and revived Beijing's panda diplomacy by pledging two giant pandas to Zoo Atlanta. The summit drew a high-profile guest list to the state dinner and was closely watched for signals on trade, technology cooperation and broader U.S.-China relations amid ongoing tensions over tariffs, AI competition and regional security issues.
