US President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at the White House for discussions on the second day of the Chinese leader's state visit to Washington D.C. The visit, Xi's first to Washington in a decade, featured considerable ceremony and pageantry.
While the visit included a warm reception and a state dinner, concrete progress on key bilateral issues remained largely unconfirmed. However, President Trump did offer a two-month truce on the ongoing tariff dispute between the two nations.
The state dinner concluded the day's events and saw the attendance of prominent figures from the technology sector, including Tesla CEO Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
