Trump china visit us leader praises xi jinping

I think there may be some misinformation here.

To correct, President Donald Trump did visit China in 2017, but it was not a visit where he praised Xi Jinping as the "US leader". In fact, Trump's visit to China was a state visit, where he met with Xi Jinping, the President of China, and other Chinese leaders.

During the visit, Trump and Xi Jinping had a series of meetings and discussions on various issues, including trade, security, and economic cooperation. While the visit was marked by some tensions and disagreements, particularly over trade issues, Trump did not publicly praise Xi Jinping as the "US leader".

In fact, Trump has often been critical of China's trade practices and has imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, leading to a trade war between the two countries. He has also been critical of China's human rights record and has accused China of engaging in unfair trade practices.

It's possible that you may be thinking of a different event or statement, but to clarify, Trump did not praise Xi Jinping as the "US leader" during his visit to China in 2017.
