Trump welcomes Xi at airport with red carpet and military flyover to kick off three-day US visit
- On Thursday, Chinese President Xi Jinping used his Washington state visit to press President Donald Trump to turn their 'constructive strategic stability' vision into practical government work across bilateral channels.
- Earlier in 2026, the leaders agreed to a shared framework guiding their relationship, with Xi framing competition as a 'race of catching up' that should be kept within bounds, according to Chinese government accounts.
