Trump Hints at Possible U.S. Visit by Xi Jinping as Tensions with China Persist

The potential summit in June could mark the first meeting between Trump and Xi since the U.S. imposed 20% tariffs on Chinese imports in January.

President Trump stated that Chinese President Xi Jinping may visit the U.S. 'in the not-too-distant future,' with discussions reportedly ongoing for a June summit.
This would be the first meeting between the two leaders since Trump's return to office and the escalation of U.S.-China trade tensions.
The U.S. imposed 20% tariffs on all Chinese imports in January, citing China's alleged failure to curb illegal fentanyl production and export.
China has retaliated with its own tariffs and accused the U.S. of using the fentanyl issue as a pretext for economic pressure.
Negotiations on trade and fentanyl-related issues remain deadlocked, with both sides entrenched and little progress reported.
