President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump are welcoming Chinese President Xi Jinping and Madame Peng Liyuan to the White House today.

A State Arrival Ceremony honoring President Xi and Madame Peng will be held on the South Lawn, State Floor, and Rose Garden of the White House, featuring 479 military personnel from all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

Presidents Trump and Xi will later meet to discuss mutual concerns regarding tariffs and trade, Indo-Pacific security, emerging technology, and human rights.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

• For President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump as they welcome the Chinese president and his wife to the White House
• That President Trump would be led by the Lord in his discussions with President Xi.
• For members of congressional committees to be discerning as they hold confirmation hearings for the president’s nominees to federal positions.
