Trump showcases new White House helipad ahead of Xi visit; symbolism over substance

Trump has built a $5 million White House helipad and is eager to show it to Xi Jinping during his visit, part of a symbolic competition over infrastructure and hosting. The visit itself is the substantive event; the helipad is a diplomatic gesture unlikely to be used by Xi. This reflects ongoing US-China summitry and image-driven diplomacy.
