Trump invites guests to look at ballroom construction 'in honour of President Xi'

US President Donald Trump went "off script" during a state dinner with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping on Thursday (Sep 24) to invite the Chinese leader and guests to view the new White House ballroom that is under construction.

"Anybody who wants to walk into a construction site that's nice and clean and sparkling, it's our honour to have you do so," he said. "But this is in honour of President Xi, Madam Peng." #usnews #usa #chinanews #china
