President Donald Trump is concluding his high-stakes three-day visit to China on Friday, May 15, 2026, with a relatively relaxed final day focused on personal diplomacy and symbolic gestures with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Here is the detailed official schedule for Day 3 (all times in China Standard Time, with corresponding U.S. Eastern Time in parentheses):
The President participates in a Greeting and Friendship Photo with the President of the People’s Republic of China.
The President participates in a Bilateral Tea with the President of the People’s Republic of China.
The President participates in a Bilateral Lunch with the President of the People’s Republic of China.
The President departs Beijing, en route to The White House.
The President arrives at The White House.
The final day is noticeably lighter on formal meetings compared to the previous two days. After two days of intensive discussions on trade, Taiwan, Iran, and technology, the schedule shifts to more personal and symbolic engagements — the greeting photo, bilateral tea, and private lunch with Xi Jinping.
These informal settings are expected to allow both leaders to build on the rapport established earlier in the summit and potentially address any remaining sensitive topics in a less formal atmosphere.Trump is scheduled to depart Beijing later on Friday and return to Washington. Official readouts from both the U.S. and Chinese sides are expected to be released after the bilateral lunch.This marks the end of President Trump’s first visit to China in nine years. The summit has been closely watched globally for its potential impact on U.S.-China relations, trade, and geopolitical stability.
