00:01Let's begin with some international breaking news.
00:04As we speak, Donald Trump is currently in Beijing in what is being deemed as truly a historic visit.
00:10He got a grand welcome as he touched down in Beijing just moments ago.
00:14Those images on your screens as well.
00:17Trump will be there for two days and of course the entire spotlight will be on his meeting with Xi
00:23Jinping.
00:23And what really emerges from that meeting?
00:26This is Trump's first visit to China since 2017.
00:30There's of course been a lot of back and forth between China and America in the last one year.
00:36But now with this particular meeting set to take place and the US president in China,
00:41it assumes significance because of the tariff fight.
00:43It assumes significance because of the West Asia tensions and also the fact that China is close to Iran.
00:51So this could help in pushing those negotiations as well.
00:54But there is tariffs, AI that will be spoken of, a trade board that reportedly will also be discussed between
01:01US and China.
01:03First images on your screens there of the moment when Trump touched down in Beijing to, as you can see,
01:08a grand welcome where hundreds of people with the flags of America, of China, greeted President Trump.
01:17Pranay Upadhyay of India Today Global is joining us with more details on this.
01:21Pranay, if this meet is successful, there will be takeaways from this huddle for the entire world,
01:27especially looking at what's happening in West Asia, the tariff showdown and so much more.
01:32Absolutely, Akshita. This is going to be a very significant and very important meeting of these two leaders,
01:37President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump.
01:39And what a timing for this meeting because President Donald Trump must have expected or he wanted,
01:44you know, to get out of the Iran war, Iran conflict and with the success of a diplomatic deal or
01:51a diplomatic win.
01:52But it did not happen.
01:53And in fact, he's still, you know, in the so-called quagmire of Strait of Hormuz.
01:59But he chose to visit China because his visit to China was deferred.
02:05It was earlier scheduled in March.
02:07It got deferred because of the West Asia conflict.
02:09And now he is in Beijing for next two days.
02:12This meeting is going to be important for the global economy, for the global technological advancement.
02:17And that's why President Donald Trump has taken over a dozen CEOs along with him,
02:23which includes Elon Musk and NVIDIA chief Jensen Huang and many other tech, you know, giant CEOs,
02:31including the Indian origin, Sanjay Marhotra of Micron Technology is also there.
02:36So it has a wide, you know, ramification and wide, you know, outcomes expected from this meeting.
02:42But it is also expected to have some kind of a headway as far as the West Asia situation is
02:48concerned,
02:48because China holds an important influence over Iran.
02:52And Iran will be an important issue on the bilateral negotiation and bilateral talks between President Xi Jinping and President
02:59Donald Trump.
03:00Okay.
03:01All right.
03:01We'll track very closely the big takeaways of that meeting.
03:04Donald Trump landing in Beijing in China, along with the first lady.
03:09We will continue tracking that very closely.
03:11Thanks, Pranay, for those details.
