KEY POINTS

  • Xi Jinping arrived at Joint Base Andrews Wednesday for a three-day U.S. visit
  • Trump personally greeted Xi on the tarmac, breaking presidential protocol
  • Treasury extended the tariff truce with China until at least early 2027
  • Granddaughter Arabella Kushner, 15, played visible role at White House welcome
  • Officials signal low expectations for substantive agreements

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived at Joint Base Andrews near Washington on Wednesday for a three-day visit. President Donald Trump personally greeted Xi on the tarmac, a rare protocol breach not seen since 1962, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump and a military honor guard with fighter jets overhead.

The two leaders exchanged a handshake before departing separately for the White House. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced simultaneously that the tariff truce between Washington and Beijing would be extended until at least early 2027.

“A gesture, if nothing else, unusual”

On Thursday, Trump's 15-year-old granddaughter Arabella Kushner appeared prominently at the White House arrival ceremony. Fluent in Mandarin, she sat in the front row alongside Cabinet secretaries Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, a move British media described as a calculated charm offensive.

The visit follows months of trade tension and strategic rivalry. Officials on both sides have lowered expectations for major breakthroughs during the three-day summit.
