Xi is wrapping his visit to Washington with a peek at the Constitution and Bill of Rights

President Donald Trump is taking Chinese President Xi Jinping to visit the National Archives on Friday to cap off a three-day state visit criticized for being heavy on pomp and light on substance. Trump says he wants to show Xi — the head of the world's most powerful communist country — the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. The two leaders have made a show of working to preserve harmony, though there were no major breakthroughs on issues like trade or artificial intelligence safety. Xi's day will start with a private tea at the White House. Thursday night, Trump honored his guest with a black-tie dinner featuring prominent technology industry titans.
