US President Donald Trump will visit China this month, where he will meet President Xi Jinping. The spokesperson of China’s Foreign Ministry has officially announced this. Trump will visit China from May 13 to 15. The three-day visit is being organized to strengthen diplomatic relations between US-China.
The leaders of the world’s two largest economies will meet face-to-face for the first time in more than 6 months. The meeting between the top leaders of the two countries will focus on efforts to stabilize relations strained by trade, the US and Israel’s war with Iran and other areas of disagreement.
Donald Trump will reach Beijing on Wednesday (May 13) evening, where he will discuss the Iran war and other issues with Xi Jinping. White House Chief Deputy Press Secretary Anna Kelly said that the inauguration ceremony and meeting will take place on Thursday morning and the visit will end on Friday (May 15). At the same time, the US is planning to host the Chinese leader later this year.
Trump’s visit was scheduled for earlier this year but was postponed due to the US-Israeli war with Iran, coming at a time when the US President is struggling to control the war. Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will discuss Iran, Taiwan, AI and nuclear weapons, as well as consider pursuing a key minerals deal, according to US officials.
Before Trump’s visit to China, there is a discussion in America about Chinese technology. On May 9, American senators also presented a proposal regarding China’s technology. Meanwhile, America imposed new bans on many Chinese companies due to their connections with Iran.
American media CNN reported that the US State Department on Friday (May 8) banned four companies, three of which are in China, which are involved in providing satellite imagery. These companies were said to have made possible Iranian attacks on American forces in the Middle East.
Recently, America had imposed ban on many Chinese refineries for purchasing crude oil from Iran, after which China ordered the companies not to obey the ban. Beijing’s Foreign Ministry has consistently said it opposes the unilateral ban, which has no basis in international law. The Chinese Foreign Ministry said it would protect the rights of Chinese citizens and companies.
