Trump winces at B-1 bomber flyover during Xi's US welcome
· World · Times of India, BBC News, Euronews
US President Donald Trump visibly winced as two B-1 bombers flew overhead during a ceremonial welcome for Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland. The flyover was part of military honours marking the start of Xi's three-day state visit for a US-China summit. Xi, standing beside Trump, appeared composed and showed no similar reaction to the aircraft noise. The ceremony included a 100-foot red carpet, salute battery, honour cordon, colour teams, and performances by the US Air Force Band. Xi's visit is expected to cover trade, tariffs, technology, AI, military ties, Taiwan, Iran, and the Russia-Ukraine war.
Why it matters
The visual contrast in reactions highlights differing diplomatic postures between the US and China during high-stakes talks. The summit's outcomes could influence global trade, technology policies, and regional security dynamics affecting India.
