US President Donald Trump has arrived in Beijing for the start of a high-stakes visit. He is set to meet Xi Jinping for a highly anticipated summit.
US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are set to discuss a range of topics, with three likely dominating the agenda.
Before boarding a flight to Beijing from Washington, the US President indicated that he would not ask China to help end the war or ease Iran’s control over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
“I don’t think we need any help with Iran. We’ll win it one way or the other, peacefully or otherwise,” Trump told media in Washington ahead of the trip.
As per the reports, tariffs are also expected to be a major part of the agenda as the US and China engaged in a trade war last year after Trump placed tariffs on almost every nation.
The US says it “does not support” Taiwanese independence. But China could see an opening in pressing the US to actively oppose it.
