US EditionTrump to make three-day visit to China next month amid trade tensions
Trump will discuss extending a trade truce, tariffs, soybean purchases, technology export controls, and regional security issues with Xi Jinping during a three-day visit to China.
- President Donald Trump will travel to China from Mar 31 to Apr 2, the White House said on Friday, to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping as they weigh extending a trade truce.
- Trade talks will center on whether to extend the trade truce that paused tariffs escalation, with agriculture and soybean purchases key as Xi said he would consider increasing them.
- The Taiwan issue frames much of the security tension as Beijing raised US arms sales to Taiwan during the February call, and Washington approved a US$11.1 billion package in December.
- Building on their October talks, the visit aims to cement prior concessions where Trump agreed to trim tariffs for China to crack down on illicit fentanyl trade, resume soybean purchases, and keep rare earths exports flowing amid recent tariff and tech easing.
- Observers say the visit combines cooperation on trade and tech with ongoing strategic tensions, and Trump told foreign leaders on Thursday `That's going to be a wild one`, signaling high expectations for the late-March trip to Beijing.
