(FOX NEWS) — Addressing a state dinner in Beijing, President Donald Trump invited Chinese President Xi Jinping and his wife Madam Peng to visit the White House on September 24.
Xi was last at the White House in September 2015, during a state visit hosted by President Barack Obama. That remains his most recent White House visit as China’s leader.
Xi was last in the United States in November 2023, when he traveled to San Francisco for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). During that visit, he met with then-President Joe Biden on the summit sidelines.
Before his visit to Beijing this week, Trump last met with Xi in person during the APEC summit in October 2025 in South Korea. During his first term, Trump hosted Xi at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida in April 2017 and met with him several other times outside the U.S. in Beijing, Argentina and Japan.
