ON CAM: U.S. Troops Kneel & Clean Red Carpet By Hands For Xi; 'Embarrassment For America' | WATCH

Chinese President Xi Jinping received an elaborate welcome from U.S. President Donald Trump at Joint Base Andrews, with Trump and Melania greeting Xi on the tarmac. But the last-minute red-carpet preparations — including U.S. military personnel appearing to clean the pathway moments before Xi’s arrival — quickly sparked controversy online. Critics on social media questioned the optics of the ceremony and accused Trump of showing excessive deference to Xi. The welcome also drew comparisons with Trump’s 2025 meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
