President Donald Trump was greeted with an elaborate red carpet ceremony upon his arrival in China. As he stepped off Air Force One, a red carpet was rolled out to escort him to the motorcade. The honor guard marched into position, lining both sides of the walkway. Hundreds of men and women dressed in blue and white stood nearby, waving the flags of both the People's Republic of China and the United States while chanting enthusiastically. A band played ceremonial music as Trump descended the stairs, offering a fist pump in time with the tunes.
Traveling with the president and following him off the aircraft were Eric and Lara Trump, Elon Musk, Marco Rubio, and Pete Hegseth. The arrival was marked by a display of diplomatic pageantry, underscoring the significance of the visit.
