Donald Trump says Xi's artifacts are "some of the greatest treasures of that proud history"

During a three‑day diplomatic trip, President Donald Trump escorted Chinese President Xi Jinping to Washington’s National Archives, where they examined the nation’s founding documents—including the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights—amid celebrations of the United States’ 250th anniversary. Trump said he wanted to present Xi with items that reflect America’s historic achievements and also highlighted artifacts related to the bilateral relationship. The day followed a White House tea hosted by the Trumps, a formal dinner attended by technology executives, and a private 90‑minute meeting in which the leaders discussed the Middle East, Ukraine and the Korean Peninsula, according to a Chinese government summary. No substantive agreements on trade or artificial‑intelligence safety were reported.
