Xi landed in West Palm Beach, Florida, Thursday and was greeted by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, ahead of meetings with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, the president’s resort.
Trump is due to arrive in Florida later Thursday.
The introductory meetings will cover topics from trade to North Korea’s recent nuclear tests.
