Trump escorted Chinese President Xi to the National Archives before his departure from DC—a symbolic tour of America's founding documents.
The visit included viewing the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. The choice of venue sends a clear message: these are the principles America was built on, now on display for China's leader as the 250th anniversary approaches.
The optics matter. Showing Xi these documents isn't just a courtesy—it's a statement about American values and governance at a moment of intense geopolitical competition.
