Trump and Xi Jinping meet face-to-face for three consecutive days... Conclude schedule at the National Archives, the 'holy site of democracy'

[Financial News] U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping completed the final schedule of their three-day state visit to the United States on the 25th (local time) by holding a tea meeting with their spouses at the White House.
According to foreign media outlets including The New York Times (NYT), President Xi Jinping and First Lady Peng Liyuan arrived at the White House in Washington, D.C., this morning and were greeted by President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. This marks President Xi's third visit to the White House in two days, following his morning and afternoon visits the previous day for the U.S.-China summit and a state dinner.
This marks the third consecutive day that President Trump has met President Xi in person, starting with the reception at Joint Base Andrews on the 23rd. Following the previous day, President Trump and his wife greeted President Xi and his wife at the South Portico of the White House again today, showing special courtesy.
After briefly posing for the press, the two leaders and their wives headed inside, leaving only a short greeting of "Thank you all very much" without giving any specific answers to the barrage of questions regarding whether China would stop importing Iranian crude oil.
The private tea time took place in the 'Red Room,' the White House's iconic reception room. The selection of the venue is interpreted as a gesture of consideration for the Chinese tradition of regarding red as a symbol of good luck. It also serves as a reciprocal gesture following President Xi’s invitation to a tea gathering at Zhongnanhai, the heart of Chinese power, as the final event of President Trump’s state visit to China last May.
After the tea party, the two leaders and their spouses move to the National Archives and Records Administration near the White House and tour the interior together. This place is called the "sanctuary of democracy" as it preserves and displays the originals of the three key documents representing the founding and history of the United States: the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution, and the United States Bill of Rights.
Guiding the leader of the world's largest socialist country to a symbolic site of American democracy is interpreted as a meticulous diplomatic move intended to show the utmost courtesy while subtly emphasizing the superiority of the American system. In his speech at the state dinner the previous day, President Trump also highlighted the sense of closeness, stating, "We understand that we represent different systems, but the bond between the peoples of both countries remains."
Foreign media analyzed that as the two countries face significant contentious issues such as artificial intelligence (AI), trade, and the Taiwan issue, President Trump is trying to solidify his personal relationship of trust with President Xi through lavish protocol and courtesies.
President Xi bids farewell to President Trump following his schedule at the National Archives and Records Administration, concludes his three-day state visit to the United States, and heads back home.
