Trump presents a white-head eagle to Xi during White House state dinner
At a state dinner in the White House, Donald Trump gave Chinese President Xi Jinping a mounted white-head eagle as a symbolic gift.
During a highly watched state dinner at the White House on Thursday, Donald Trump presented Chinese President Xi Jinping with a mounted white-head eagle, a bird he described as a symbol of the United States and its free, ambitious spirit. The eagle was displayed prominently in the banquet hall, and Trump explained that its design involved collaboration with an American artist and his wife, Melania. He suggested the gift should be placed in a distinguished location in Beijing.
The ceremony followed a recent visit by Trump to Beijing earlier in the year, making this their second encounter. Both leaders, described as powerful figures, shared the meal amid intense media scrutiny. The event underscores ongoing diplomatic engagement between the United States and China.
