Most military experts believe that just even getting such a system in place would be tremendous effort in terms of getting the number of satellites that you need, in terms of getting the interceptors in place. They would say that getting it all in place before the end of Trump's term would be an even more difficult ask.

We have heads of state of about 25 countries from Africa, Asia. There's an EU member, Robert Fizzo, of Slovakia. He was... threatened with countermeasures by the EU if he did show up, but he's there nonetheless.

The thing about Xi for Putin is that it really confers on Russia this idea that it's still a great power, which, to be fair, has slipped in recent years as Moscow has focused more narrowly on Ukraine. China is a big partner for Russia, both in terms of diplomatic support, in terms of dual-use technology that ends up on the front line. And Xi is also there for four days.

It's a very long visit, and it means a lot for Putin, obviously.
