ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE - US President Donald Trump on Jan 22 said he would visit China in April and Chinese President Xi Jinping would travel to the United States towards the end of 2026.
“I look forward to seeing President Xi,” Mr Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. “I’ve always had a great relationship (with) President Xi of China.”
Mr Trump said ties between the world’s two largest economies became strained during the Covid-19 pandemic, but had improved significantly since.
