China - US Relations: China's President Xi Jinping arrives in Florida for Trump talks -

His plane landed at West Palm Beach where he was greeted by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

The heads of the world's two major  economies will hold the bilateral at Mr Trump's Mar-a-Lago retreat.

The American leader is expected to press his counterpart for action on North Korea, and Mr Xi to seek assurances on Taiwan.

Mr Trump tweeted last week that the summit "will be a very difficult one".

Some protesters lined the streets to voice their opposition to China's policy in the South China Sea.
Mr Xi and his wife, folk singer Peng Liyuan, will attend a welcome banquet at the Mar-a-Lago estate on Thursday evening with the US president and first lady, Melania Trump.

The bilateral will conclude with a working lunch on Friday.

USA: How protesters plan to get under Trump’s skin wherever he goes - Perry Stein and David A. Fahrenthold

The Saturday evening march will begin at Trump Plaza, a high-rise apartment building. President Trump actually hasn’t owned the place since 1991. Fine. It still has the name.

It’s a good place to start.

From there, the marchers will head south, walking along the Intracoastal Waterway that separates West Palm Beach from ritzy Palm Beach island. They’ll stop, on police orders, when they reach the bridge across from Mar-a-Lago.

And then, the plan is to wave signs and glow sticks. The hope is that they’ll be visible across the dark water and the great green lawn of the club, from up in the private apartment that is now the “winter White House.”

If Trump sees those green lights, then he’ll know that his critics have followed him home.
