US President Donald Trump welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland with a military flyover and a red carpet, the BBC reported on 24 September. The broadcaster described the carpet as 100ft (30m) long. Xi’s arrival came at the start of his visit to Washington, DC. [1]
Trump had been talking publicly about the visit for months, according to the BBC. Preparations included improvements to the White House and a new marble helipad, which the broadcaster reported was ready for Xi’s visit. Trump had also expressed regret that his new ballroom would not be finished in time. [1]

The BBC account focuses on the welcome and preparations. It does not establish Trump’s personal motives for the reception or report substantive diplomatic outcomes. [1]
