Rare tarmac greeting opens three-day state visit as security tightens US President Donald Trump and US first lady Melania Trump walk with China's President Xi Jinping and his wife Peng Liyuan upon their arrival at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, US, September 23, 2026. © Reuters WASHINGTON/NEW YORK — Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump are holding their second summit of the year, amid lingering tensions over tariffs, rare earth materials, artificial intelligence and other issues. After Trump traveled to Beijing in May, the venue this time is Washington. The White House is putting on an elaborate show of welcoming the Chinese leader, including a state dinner. At the outset, upon Xi's arrival, the U.S. said the two sides agreed to extend their trade truce, which had been due to expire Nov. 10. But expectations for broader tangible results were modest, after their earlier meeting produced what many experts saw as symbolism over substance.
