Trump and Xi's summit revives panda diplomacy

Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday during a visit with President Trump that China will send two pandas to Zoo Atlanta, calling them an 'envoy of friendship.' The pandas, male Ping Ping and female Fu Shuang from Chengdu, would be the first at the zoo since 2024. Trump greeted Xi at Joint Base Andrews, a rare gesture, ahead of talks on AI, economic ties, and critical minerals.
