US President Donald Trump met Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Thursday for high-level talks focused on trade, global stability, and economic cooperation between the world’s two largest economies.

Xi Jinping welcomed Trump at the Great Hall of the People, where the American President received a ceremonial guard of honor before the two leaders shook hands and began bilateral discussions.

The meeting lasted for nearly two hours, during which both leaders emphasized the importance of stable US-China relations amid rapidly changing global conditions.

At the start of the talks, Xi Jinping said the entire world was closely watching the meeting and stressed that cooperation between the two countries is essential for global stability.

“It has been proven time and again that there are no winners in a trade war. The foundation of China-US economic relations is mutual benefit and win-win cooperation,” Xi said, while calling on both nations to become partners rather than rivals.

US President Donald Trump praised Xi Jinping and described him as a friend.

“It’s an honor to be your friend,” Trump said, adding that relations between the United States and China were expected to improve further. He also noted that several leading American business executives accompanied him on the visit.

Boeing Deal Worth ₹9 Lakh Crore in Focus

One of the major highlights of the visit is a possible mega aviation agreement involving Boeing.

According to reports, China may sign a deal to purchase Boeing aircraft worth nearly ₹9 lakh crore, potentially making it one of the largest aviation deals in global history.

The discussions between the two leaders are also expected to cover key strategic and economic issues, including:

  • Trade and tariffs
  • Semiconductor exports
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Taiwan-related tensions
  • Bilateral investment cooperation

The meeting is being viewed as highly significant given the strained ties between Washington and Beijing in recent years over trade disputes, technology restrictions, and geopolitical competition.
