Claim 1: “Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump started a crucial series of meetings in Beijing on Thursday in the U.S.-China summit.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While Wikipedia evidence confirms a state visit by Donald Trump to China from 13 to 15 May 2026 and a previous summit in Busan in 2025, there is no specific evidence in the provided text confirming that a series of meetings started on a 'Thursday' in Beijing for a U.S.-China summit. The provided evidence mentions the visit dates but does not explicitly confirm the 'Thursday' start or the specific nature of the meetings as described in the claim.
