Donald Trump, following his recent election victory, has expressed interest in visiting China within his first 100 days in office, according to reports from the Wall Street Journal. The potential trip aims to deepen relations with Chinese President Xi Jinping, which have been strained by Trump's threats to impose steeper tariffs on Chinese imports. While discussions about a possible meeting are underway, including the option of Xi visiting the United States, Trump officials have stated that no plans for a China trip have been finalized. Trump's last visit to China was in 2017.
