Xi and Trump trade warm vows during second day of state visit
The leaders made their remarks at the White House shortly before Xi’s motorcade was accompanied by a military flyover featuring a B-2 Spirit and four F-22 Raptors.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and US President Donald Trump used remarks at the White House on Thursday morning to project stability during the second day of Xi’s state visit, emphasizing warmer ties and deeper cooperation. The statements also framed US-China competition as something that could remain “healthy,” with Xi calling for the two powers to coexist in peace, according to SCMP Economy.
Trump said he and Xi would work together to build a “better future” for both countries, while Xi urged peaceful coexistence and ongoing, constructive competition. SCMP Economy described both sides as seeking to reinforce an image of steadier relations amid the closely watched visit.
Shortly after the speeches, Xi was welcomed with a military flyover that included a B-2 Spirit and four F-22 Raptors, SCMP Economy reported.
