It detailed the schedule for September 23, 24, and 25, including the arrival at Joint Base Andrews, the official arrival ceremony, bilateral talks, a military review in the Rose Garden, and the state dinner. The report also noted that the White House had not yet revealed details of a separate event for Melania Trump and Peng Liyuan. It included a link to a CNN report about AI nearly provoking a US-China military operation. ### Centre - The centre-rated report from ZN.UA Зеркало недели highlighted that President Trump plans to personally greet Chinese leader Xi Jinping at Andrews Air Force Base upon his arrival. It noted this is a rare practice for a US president. The report detailed the summit program, including the meeting on September 23, bilateral talks and a state dinner on September 24, and events on September 25. It quoted Chinese media describing Trump's gesture as a 'rare honour' and contrasted it with Xi Jinping not meeting Trump on the tarmac in Beijing. The report also included commentary from the Financial Times suggesting limited expectations for the summit due to mutual distrust and a desire for strategic advantage, and discussed the role of AI in US-China relations. ### Right - The right-rated reports from news-pravda.com, Times of India, Latestly, and Tribune India focused on the upcoming meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping and the topics of discussion.

The right-rated reports also mentioned that Xi Jinping's visit would mark his first to the US presidential residence in over a decade.
