Donald Trump Receives Xi Jinping in the United States with Exceptional Honors
The American president personally welcomed his Chinese counterpart on Wednesday, as Washington and Beijing have already announced an extension of their trade truce until January 10.
U.S. President Donald Trump traveled in person on Wednesday to welcome Xi Jinping upon his arrival in the United States, as part of a three-day state visit, according to a report by France 24.
This gesture, which deviates from the usual protocol reserved for welcoming foreign heads of state, illustrates according to the report the special affinities that Donald Trump claims to have with his Chinese counterpart.
An extended trade truce
The visit comes as the United States and China have already decided to extend their trade truce until January 10, a sign of the two powers' desire to stabilize, at least temporarily, their economic relations.
The report did not specify the details of the program planned for the three days of Xi Jinping's visit, nor the specific topics that will be discussed during the meetings between the two leaders.
