President Petro arrived at the White House complex at 10:53 am. Far from typical high-profile arrival, Petro entered via the West Executive Drive entrance (adjacent to the Eisenhower Executive Office Building) rather than the North Portico.
The motorcade passed the press corps stationed at "Pebble Beach," where journalists and cameras were positioned to capture the arrival.
There was no traditional military honor guard or ceremonial protocol.
President Petro likely disembarked from his vehicle at the West Wing, closer to the Oval Office.
The bilateral meeting remains closed to the press.
