Trump welcomes Xi at airport with red carpet and military flyover to kick off three-day US visit
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the two sides agreed to extend their trade truce by two months as talks continue on tariffs and other disputes.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Jinping at The White House for a state arrival ceremony, where Ivanka Trump and Arabella Kushner sat alongside high-ranking officials.
- The state arrival ceremony on The White House South Lawn and Rose Garden honored Jinping during his first visit in over a decade, featuring nearly 500 military personnel and performances by the US Marine Band.
- Onlookers questioned why Ivanka and Arabella Kushner sat between Second Lady Usha Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Cabinet Secretaries Rubio, sparking a protocol debate over private citizens' seating rank.
- Vanity Fair correspondent Aidan McLaughlin wrote that Ivanka had "better seats than the Secretary of State," while AMERICAblog founder John Aravosis responded that "any normal person would be mortified" by the inclusion.
- Critics previously scrutinized Ivanka's brand receiving three trademarks in 2017 during a dinner with Jinping, while reports noted Arabella Kushner has "been taking Chinese lessons for years" and performed for the Chinese President.
