Trump hosts Xi Jinping at White House state dinner with tech leaders
President Donald Trump hosted Chinese President Xi Jinping at a White House state dinner on Thursday, September 24, as part of Xi’s three-day state visit to Washington, D.C. The event focused on strengthening bilateral relations and addressing strategic issues, including trade and artificial intelligence.
The dinner featured a high concentration of American technology leaders, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella, and Mark Zuckerberg. Many of these executives were seated at the main table with the two presidents, highlighting the commercial and technological stakes of the US-China relationship.
The menu was designed to blend American ingredients with Chinese culinary influences. NYU President Linda Mills was the sole university leader in attendance among the more than 130 guests. Her presence comes amid ongoing discussions regarding NYU Shanghai, which some U.S. House committees have identified as a potential national security risk.
