The Trump-Xi summit in Beijing, held May 14-15, featured formal handshakes and protocol-driven greetings at the Great Hall of the People, with no hug observed in public footage or reports despite Trump's pre-trip jest about a "big fat hug." Chinese diplomatic norms emphasize restraint in physical contact, and body language experts noted rapport through smiles and firm grips but no embrace during welcome ceremonies or bilateral talks on trade, Taiwan, and Iran. Traders' 99.9% "No" consensus reflects comprehensive media coverage and video evidence, with resolution awaiting any private footage; only a verified late disclosure could shift odds amid high-stakes diplomacy.

Donald Trump is scheduled to visit China for a summit with Xi Jinping around May 14-15, 2026.
This market will resolve to “Yes” if Donald Trump and Xi Jinping hug at any point during this summit. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."
Video or photographic evidence of the hug must be released within this market’s time frame to qualify.
A qualifying hug is defined as an in-person greeting or gesture involving the two individuals wrapping at least one arm around the other individual's shoulders or back while facing each other in a manner consistent with a hug.
Gestures where only one individual places an arm around the other, or where both individuals place arms around each other while standing side by side and not facing each other, will not qualify as a hug. Brief incidental contact, such as a pat on the back or shoulder without arm-wrapping from both parties, will similarly not qualify.
The summit begins when Donald Trump enters the terrestrial or maritime territory of China. The summit ends once Donald Trump physically departs from Chinese territory.
This market may resolve once Donald Trump physically departs from Chinese territory at the end of the summit. If Donald Trump does not physically enter the terrestrial or maritime territory of China by May 22, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to “No”.
