Here's who attended the Trump-Xi state dinner

President Donald Trump hosted a state dinner on Thursday for Chinese President Xi Jinping, bringing together a range of guests for the high-profile diplomatic event.

The dinner served as a ceremonial highlight of Xi's visit, reflecting the broader diplomatic engagement between Washington and Beijing even as the two governments continue to navigate disagreements on trade, technology and security matters. State dinners of this kind typically draw a mix of administration officials, business leaders and other notable figures alongside the visiting delegation.

Part of a broader visit

The event took place against the backdrop of related news, including a separate dispute over press access after journalists from some outlets were denied entry to the dinner despite a court ruling ordering the administration to admit them. That dispute unfolded alongside the broader diplomatic proceedings of the evening.

Specific names of individual attendees beyond the two heads of state were not detailed in the portion of the report available. The dinner adds to a series of high-level exchanges between the US and Chinese governments during Xi's visit to Washington.
