US President Donald Trump will travel to China from March 31 to April 2 for talks with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, the White House has announced.
Observers noted that the court’s decision could leave Trump with less leverage against China during negotiations and might give a fresh lift to trade.
The trip will be Trump’s first visit to China since coming to office for a second time – his previous trip to the country was in November 2017 during his first term.
Xi is expected to visit the United States later this year.
Relations between the two countries have been rocky since Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on China at the start of his second term. In a series of tit-for-tat actions, the White House imposed triple-digit “retaliatory” levies on Chinese goods and Beijing mounted a sweeping boycott of US agricultural goods for much of last year.
