China's state-run Xinhua News Agency reported that President Trump's Air Force One landed at Beijing Capital International Airport at around 7:49 p.m. on this day.

This marks the first visit by a U.S. president to China in nine years, since President Trump's first term in November 2017.

This visit is taking place amid ongoing tensions between the United States and China over tariff disputes, the Taiwan issue, and the situation in the Middle East, drawing the attention of the international community.

On the second day of the visit, the 14th, President Trump will hold a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing in the morning.

This will be the first in-person summit between the two leaders in about six months, following their meeting in Busan last October on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit. The two leaders are expected to engage in broad discussions on key issues, including trade and tariff matters, as well as the situations concerning Taiwan and Iran.

After the summit, President Trump and President Xi are scheduled to tour Beijing's Temple of Heaven Park together, and in the evening, attend a state banquet at the Great Hall of the People.

On the final day of the visit, the 15th, the two leaders plan to continue their dialogue with a small tea gathering and a luncheon, where they will hold additional consultations.
