thebalanced.newsTrump to Visit China May 13-15 for Talks on Trade, Iran, and Geopolitical Issues
US President Donald Trump is set to visit China from May 13 to 15 for a state visit at the invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping. The summit will focus on rebalancing trade relations, with discussions on a Board of Trade and Board of Investment, and potential agreements in aerospace, agriculture, and energy. Key geopolitical issues include Iran, where Trump is expected to press China over its economic ties with Tehran, as well as Taiwan, artificial intelligence, and nuclear arms. The visit, postponed earlier due to the Iran conflict, will feature ceremonial events and aims to stabilize strained US-China ties amid ongoing global tensions.
