Trump Plans China Visit Within First 100 Days to Deepen Ties with Xi Amid Tariff Tensions
Jan 19, 2025, 12:57 AM
President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his intention to visit China within his first 100 days in office, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. The purpose of the visit is to deepen ties with Chinese President Xi Jinping, despite tensions over Trump's threats to impose steeper tariffs on Chinese imports. Trump, who will be sworn in on Monday, previously visited Beijing in 2017 during his first term. The two leaders recently discussed trade, fentanyl, and TikTok in a phone call, indicating a willingness to address key issues between the two nations. While no final decision has been made on the trip, Trump's interest in visiting China early in his term suggests an effort to reset strained relations with Beijing.
