Potential Trump-Xi Meeting in China Amidst Trade War Escalation
US President Donald Trump is in talks to potentially visit China as early as next month, according to diplomatic sources. This comes as Trump has been focused on reaching a deal with Beijing since his return to the White House.
Both presidents, Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping, are eager for a visit from the other side to showcase a diplomatic success. Initial discussions have revolved around Trump visiting China, although the progress of these talks remains unclear.
One Chinese source noted that it has become more challenging for Beijing officials to communicate with their counterparts in Washington, given the drastic changes taking place in the US. Despite this, Trump and Xi recently had a phone call just days before Trump’s return to office, where they discussed a wide range of issues.
If the visit to China does materialize, it could signal a significant step in US-China relations under the Biden administration. Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
