U.S. President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing on Wednesday evening for a state visit to China, greeted by Chinese Vice President Han Zheng during a welcome ceremony.

The president is seeking to sign deals with China to buy more American food and aircraft, saying he’ll be talking with Xi Jinping about trade “more than anything else.”

Trump’s trade war with Beijing has sent U.S.-China trade into a freefall and forced companies on both sides of the Pacific to regroup.

Now, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are trying to stabilise their relationship during their meeting in Beijing, which lasts from the 13th to the 15th of May.

Trump has taken a host of top business and technology industry executives, including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, Tim Cook of Apple, as well as other executives from Meta, Visa, JPMorgan Chase, Boeing, Cargill, and more.
