依照過去慣例,外國領導人通常由級別較低的官員在機場接待,抵達白宮後才與美國總統會面。因此本次的安排極為罕見,上一次有美國總統親自到該基地迎接外國領袖,已是1962年時任總統甘迺迪(John F. Kennedy)迎接英國首相麥克米倫(Harold Macmillan)。
除了親自迎接,現場也鋪設紅毯,並以隆重軍禮迎接習近平夫婦,包括奏起兩國國歌、美國陸軍鳴放21響禮炮,美軍軍機也飛越安德魯聯合基地上空,其中包括2架B-1超音速轟炸機。歡迎儀式結束後,川普夫婦目送習近平夫婦搭車離去,才離開現場。
現場也為美中兩國媒體架設2座大型攝影台,同時也架設4門迎賓禮砲,並停放至少12架美軍戰機,其中包含F-16以及美軍最先進的F-22戰機。另外在現場也有大批身穿制服的美軍人員,並聚集約十多組美國電視採訪團隊,除了主要電視網,也有大批保守派及親「讓美國再次偉大」(MAGA)陣營的媒體。
根據規劃,24日上午川普及梅蘭妮亞將於白宮為習近平夫婦舉行國是訪問抵達儀式,川普和習近平將致詞,接著在玫瑰花園(Rose Garden)舉行閱兵儀式。後續川習兩人隨後將進行雙邊會談,外界預期雙方將討論人工智慧(AI)、貿易、關稅、伊朗戰爭等議題,也有人預測可能會提到台灣議題。
24日晚間川普和梅蘭妮亞也將於白宮東廳舉行國宴,歡迎習近平一行人。根據美國官員先前表示,多位美國企業領袖也將出席晚宴。25日上午,川普夫婦將再度於白宮迎接習近平夫婦,並在白宮紅廳進行茶敘。之後他們將前往美國國家檔案局(National Archives)參觀。
本次也是習近平相隔3年再次訪美(2023年是於舊金山出席亞太經合組織(APEC)峰會),也是繼5月川習在北京會晤後,美中元首再次會面。本次出訪也是習近平自2015年9月以來,時隔11年再次國事訪問美國。本次陪同習近平出訪的人員,包含習近平夫人彭麗媛、中共中央政治局常委、中央辦公廳主任蔡奇、中共中央政治局委員、外長王毅等。
