The couple arrived in China on Air Force One and immediately traveled to the Forbidden City where they met Chinese President Xi Jinping and his spouse Peng Liyuan.
The two leaders toured the historical site and spent some time viewing a performance from the Chinese Opera.
“The Forbidden City in the first night will welcome the first families of China and the US, and I believe that will be very personal and special occasion," US Ambassador to China Terry Branstad explained.
Chinese Ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai explained that President Xi’s officials had made “special arrangements” for events designed to teach President Trump “more about Chinese history, culture and people.”
President Trump will visit China from November 8th-10th, then continue his extended Asia tour with stops in Vietnam and the Philippines./.
