"Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2, the White House has said, in what will be the first official visit to Beijing by a United States president since Trump's last trip there in 2017. The dates, confirmed by a White House official on Friday, come as Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have respectively described excellent and good communication between the two countries in recent months."
"We have to put on the biggest display you've ever had in the history of China, Trump said. The announcement of Trump's China visit came shortly before the US Supreme Court on Friday struck down the tariffs that Trump had imposed on countries around the world, in a tactic the US president has openly used to influence other countries to support his policies."
Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2 for a three-day visit at Beijing's invitation, marking the first official US presidential trip to Beijing since 2017. The trip follows months in which Trump and Xi Jinping described communication between the countries as excellent and good. Trump characterized the visit as "a wild one" and promised a major display. The announcement came just before the US Supreme Court struck down tariffs Trump had imposed; tariffs and China’s trade responses, including soybean purchases, are likely agenda items. China’s rising electric vehicle exports and investments in renewables contrast with US fossil-fuel emphasis. Washington continues weapons sales and other support to Taiwan. This will be Trump’s first China trip since the COVID-19 pandemic, during which he labeled the virus the "Chinese virus" and downplayed its consequences.
