Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in the United States for his first state visit in over a decade, greeted on the tarmac by US President Donald Trump, a rare gesture ahead of their summit, according to SCMP Economy.

SCMP Economy said the two leaders met at Joint Base Andrews shortly after 6pm, alongside their wives, Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan.

One key takeaway highlighted by the outlet was that the trade truce has been extended, carrying into the summit discussions.
