US President Donald Trump greeted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House on Thursday during a three-day state visit that includes bilateral talks, military honors and a state dinner.
Xi arrived in Washington on Wednesday, where Trump welcomed him at the airport after officials agreed to extend a trade truce until January, according to the original report.
Talks to focus on key areas of friction
Trump and Xi are scheduled to deliver remarks before beginning closed-door discussions. Their talks come amid tensions over Taiwan, trade, artificial intelligence safety and critical minerals.
A state dinner hosted by Trump and First Lady Melania Trump is planned for Thursday evening.
