China has confirmed US President Donald Trump's visit from May 13 to 15 at the invitation of President Xi Jinping. Trump will hold talks with Xi Jinping on important issues including Iran and trade tensions.
The two countries have had disagreements over trade tariffs, the Middle East conflict, and Taiwan, which China considers part of its territory. Trump delayed his initial visit to focus on the Iran situation.
US officials say Trump will use this visit to push discussions on Iran while reducing trade tensions. China is an important buyer of Iranian oil, especially through smaller independent refineries.
The visit is highly significant, with the president aiming to secure beneficial agreements for the US. The trip will include formal events such as a visit to the Temple of Heaven and a state banquet in Beijing.
This will be the first visit by a US president to China since 2017. Trump's visit is expected to be a key moment in US-China relations, with trade and security issues on the agenda.
