美國總統川普親自前往機場迎接中國國家主席習近平,並透過一系列安排如展示直升機停機坪、導覽陸戰隊一號專機、調侃前任肖像畫及讚揚其花崗岩喜好,試圖營造兩人至交好友的形象。習近平在互動中多次被逗笑,但未就伊朗、台灣及AI議題回應記者提問。

川普與習近平過去曾有多次會面,但禮遇不對稱。今年5月習近平在北京接待川普時,未有美國總統親自到機場迎接的同等禮遇。此次訪問被視為雙方關係的重要觀察窗口。
美國總統川普從展示全新的直升機停機坪,到嘲弄前任總統肖像畫等種種安排,顯然是想營造出他與中國國家主席習近平是至交好友的形象。
但問題是,中國國家主席是否領情?習近平對白宮進行國事訪問期間,川普發動強大的親和力攻勢,他頻頻輕拍習近平的手臂,並盛讚兩人擁有「極其深厚的友誼」。

有時候,習近平似乎也配合演出。法新社報導,川普在白宮柱廊向習近平展示歷任總統肖像時說:「川普,接著還是川普,而這是自動簽名筆。」現場原本掛著前總統拜登照片的位置,已被換成一幅自動簽名筆的照片。
根據川普幕僚發布的影片,看到習近平被逗樂笑了起來,川普隨即拍了拍他的手臂,強調自己說的話。
在另一段影片中,川普指著西廂一面牆上的照片,那是他過去與習近平會面時的合照。
川普開玩笑說:「那是誰?我認不出他!」他再次拍了拍習近平的手臂,接著說:「我們非常尊重您。」
川普前一天親自前往機場迎接習近平,為這次訪問定下基調。這是美國總統首次親自到機場迎接中國領導人,而習近平今年5月於北京接待川普時,並未給予相同禮遇。
川普今天帶習近平參觀白宮南草坪新建的巨型直升機停機坪,將他大秀兩人「兄弟情」的舉動推向高潮。
重頭戲還在後頭,川普甚至帶習近平登上美國總統直升機專機「陸戰隊一號」(Marine One),親自導覽這架全球極具軍事敏感性的機密座機。
隨後兩人未回應記者關於伊朗、台灣及人工智慧(AI)等議題的提問,川普反倒談起了石材。
川普指著習近平說:「他喜歡花崗岩。除了其他許多領域外,他還是石材專家,而且喜歡上等的花崗岩。」
習近平當天稍早在許多正式迎賓儀式中多半面無表情,此刻也不禁笑了出來。
川普展現出極大熱情,甚至在禁止3家美國媒體進入白宮的幾天後,於橢圓形辦公室盛讚中國記者團是最友善的媒體陣容。
