US Air Force C-17s arrive in Beijing before Trump visit

Dubai: Ahead of a planned visit by US President Donald Trump to Beijing later this week, two US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III aircraft arrived at Beijing Capital International Airport. The large military transport planes are believed to be carrying vehicles, security equipment, and logistical supplies needed for the high-level presidential trip.

Chinese officials have confirmed Trump’s upcoming visit, signaling renewed diplomatic engagement between Washington and Beijing during a period of complex relations between the two countries. The aircraft arrivals highlight the extensive security and operational planning that accompanies a US presidential overseas visit, particularly one involving meetings with senior Chinese leadership and government representatives in the Chinese capital.
