US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he may visit China soon for a landmark trip at a time of simmering trade and security tensions.<\/p>\n
“President Xi has invited me to China, and we’ll probably be doing that in the not-too-distant future,” Trump told reporters in the White House’s Oval Office.<\/p>\n
“A little bit out, but not too distant. And I’ve been invited by a lot of people, and we’ll make those decisions pretty soon.”<\/p>\n
Reuters has reported that Trump and Xi’s aides have discussed a potential meeting between the leaders during a trip by the US president to Asia later this year, citing two people familiar with the plans.<\/p>\n
While plans for a meeting have not been finalized, discussions on both sides of the Pacific have included a possible Trump stopover around the time of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in South Korea or talks on the sidelines of the October 30-November 1 event, the people said.<\/p>\n
Another possible trip would be for a September 3 Beijing ceremony commemorating the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two, which Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to attend.<\/p>\n
The White House and the Chinese government had declined to comment on that earlier Reuters report.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
