President Donald Trump’s state visit in 2017 marked the first time in modern China’s history that any foreign leader attended an official dinner in the Forbidden City. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump also had tea in the Bao Yun Lou, a building originally constructed in 1915 with funds from President Theodore Roosevelt to store significant Chinese artifacts. During his visit, President Trump showed President Xi a video of his granddaughter showing off her Mandarin-speaking skills. After watching the clip, President Xi reportedly said she deserved “an A-plus” for her singing and Mandarin.

2017年，唐纳德·特朗普总统对中国进行国事访问，成为中国近代历史上首位在紫禁城参加正式晚宴的外国领导人。特朗普总统和第一夫人梅拉尼娅还在宝蕴楼品茶。宝蕴楼最初于1915年修建，由美国总统西奥多·罗斯福提供资金，用于保存重要的中国文物。访问期间，特朗普总统给习主席看了他的外孙女展示普通话才能的视频。据说，习主席看完视频后称赞她唱歌和普通话的水平都是“A +”。
