Trump Shows Xi Biden Autopen Portrait During White House Tour

President Trump led Chinese President Xi Jinping past a new White House colonnade display featuring presidential portraits, pausing to point out a depiction of an autopen tied to former President Biden. Trump joked ‘Trump, and then Trump, and this is the autopen,’ prompting laughter from Xi's entourage, according to video shared by a White House aide.

Beyond the tour, Chinese state media reported the two leaders discussed Iran, Russia's war in Ukraine, and tensions on the Korean Peninsula, with Xi urging a return to U.S.-Iran diplomacy. Beijing said both sides agreed to pursue a ‘constructive, strategic and stable’ relationship, though it offered few details on the Ukraine and North Korea discussions. The White House had not released its own detailed readout by evening.

The visit was also marked by scuffles involving Xi's traveling press corps, with U.S. reporters describing being shoved and squashed against walls as Chinese photographers jockeyed for position, according to accounts from correspondents at The Telegraph and The Daily Wire.
